School Notes:
  • Grades 6 – 8 are currently served. USL will add grades 4 & 5 (Intermediate School) for 2008-2009. Grade 9 will start in 2009-2010, and remaining high school grades will begin in the three following years.
  • USL is geared to students of above-average ability.
  • Many aspects of a student's course of study are individualized based on a student's interests and abilities.
  • USL is a laptop school. Each teacher and student is provided a wireless notebook computer for use at University School (1 to 1 ratio).
  • A key aspect of USL is the heavy involvement of teenage and young adult mentors in the lives of our students. We have a mentor from every major high school option for our students, and the mentors are regularly involved in our students' lives at school and at evening and weekend school-sponsored activities. Our students also mentor Hibben Preschool students.
  • USL features "Learning Outside of the Classroom." Regular interaction with and service to the community are hallmarks of our program. The Lowcountry is our classroom, and students spend one day per week "learning by doing" through experiences that challenge and inspire them.
  • Inquiry-based, hands-on curriculum features multiple teaching styles and multiple forms of assessment.
  • Although many intermediate/middle schools provide an option to earn credit in Algebra and/or a Global Language, University School provides opportunities to advance and to earn high school credit in Algebra, Algebra II, and Geometry (enhancing one’s options to take AP/IB/college-level math and science courses before graduating from high school). Similar opportunities are available in Global Languages.
