Elevate your aspirations 
How Our Academic Program Ensures Expertise and Inspires Independence
At ULS, people and place unite to create a fully engaging college preparatory curriculum. From Preprimary through grade 12, expert teachers and supportive classmates inquire and investigate in thoughtfully designed student-centric classrooms; in well-equipped labs, studios, and performance spaces; and in welcoming, comfortable study and common spaces.
We calibrate the complete ULS program to increase students’ intellectual ambition while ensuring their social and emotional well-being. In our hands-on, Reggio-inspired Preprimary and Lower School programs, students build joyful curiosity and genuine confidence as caring educators guide them through intellectual, artistic, athletic and personal challenges.
In Middle School, students raise their skills and aspirations through increasingly complex independent and collaborative projects — as classroom study, art, science and technology come together in each student’s original imagination.
In Upper School, students prepare to apply for and thrive in college through personalized college counseling, an intensive academic curriculum, and ongoing attention to social, emotional and physical wellness. The program culminates in deeply researched independent senior projects that draw on their experiences and propels them toward more meaningful discoveries.
At all grade levels, we immerse students in our intentional leadership curriculum, inspiring and equipping them to contribute their best qualities to causes larger than themselves.
We invite you to investigate our Preprimary, Lower School, Middle School, and Upper School programs. And for children ages 18 months to 3 years old, the Laker Playgroup might be just the place to start a learning life!
