How the Environment Defines Everything We Do
ULS is an intentionally distinctive place and community. The school sits on Hawk Hill — 180-acres of expansive woods, prairielands and green spaces. There are five buildings on campus with engaging learning spaces for all ages, from the youngest 3 year olds to our ambitious seniors. The dynamic interplay of people and place makes ULS a feeling as much as a school.

And the teachers all know the children; every teacher knows every kid.”
