We know how boys learn best.

Here boys thrive in an environment with the freedom to explore, create, and innovate. We pique curiosity and challenge boys with a vigorous, interdisciplinary curriculum. Boys develop skills to prepare them for success in our global community: communication, teamwork, critical thinking, and problem-solving. Boys at University School become young men of character who are prepared for a bright future.

Each boy has a home here.

University School is a positive, welcoming, and diverse community that fosters true belonging. Boys are valued for all their contributions – academic, artistic, athletic – and learn to value the contributions of others. This helps our boys develop confidence, empathy, respect for others, integrity, and an appreciation of self. US students build friendships that last a lifetime.
