University School

University School understands boys. They know what makes them tick, and they respond with a curriculum and a learning environment that are especially suited to boys. They find at US countless opportunities to roll up their sleeves and learn by doing. This approach, which is rooted in the very origins of the school, appeals to the way boys learn best. It stretches them and helps to build confidence and self-reliance.

The faculty at University School care deeply about boys. They focus on building caring, trusting relationships with each student so that he feels known and loved. They practice this philosophy every day and have made it central to their mission. Talented and dedicated faculty members not only teach: they serve as mentors, sponsors, and coaches who are always there for guidance and support. Small classes within a close-knit community enable every student to receive the individual attention he needs.

They speak openly about values and believe in teaching values. Their motto, "Responsibility, Loyalty, Consideration," is their guide. Students learn personal responsibility and accountability, they learn to be loyal to their friends and to their school, and they learn consideration. Far from a quaint, outmoded notion, consideration is respect in practice. Genuine respect for others begins with how we treat each other on a daily basis.

Finally, University School is a particularly exciting place to be now as they move forward with a bold strategic plan to position the school for its next era of excellence. In order to become the premier school for boys in the 21^st century, they are giving students real-world experiences beyond the walls of the School, they are creating compelling learning spaces, and they are enhancing the professional lives of their outstanding faculty.
