Here, nature is more than a backdrop — it’s an integral part of our curriculum. Our students don’t just learn about the environment; they become stewards of it, developing a deep appreciation for the natural beauty that surrounds them.
Leadership is not Comfortable
At ULS we believe true leadership requires productive discomfort, and a habit of mind that seeks it out. Our robust K-12 leadership curriculum challenges students to try new things, push their perceived limits, and discover their capacity to affect others. Leadership at ULS requires an active willingness to be involved in group projects and collective problem-solving. Leadership at ULS also trains you to be happy and focused when you are alone, and to develop personal strength, independence, and self-governance. Leadership is about discerning the best goals and leveraging resources towards achieving them. Sometimes this means you're the one steering the canoe, and sometimes you're the one who just needs to paddle. Lakers are confident participants in the world, lead by example, and are not shy to stand up for others.
Fostering Deep Relationships
A hallmark of a ULS education is the close-knit community we foster. Small class sizes enable students to build meaningful connections with their teachers, who serve as mentors, guides, and lifelong supporters. These relationships create a nurturing environment where students feel valued, understood, and inspired. This close bond also empowers teachers to focus on each student's unique talents and contributions.
Experiential Learning at Its Best
Our approach to education is hands-on, inquiry-based, and student-led. We focus on the depth of knowledge, allowing students to dive deeply into subjects they are passionate about. Through experiential learning, our students don’t just learn — they do. ULS students are active participants in their own education, gaining the skills and confidence they need to succeed in a rapidly changing world.
Cultivating Well-Rounded Individuals
At ULS, we are committed to the holistic development of our students. We emphasize the importance of being well-rounded individuals who excel not only academically but also in sports, the arts, leadership, and community service. Our students are encouraged to get involved, give back, and make a positive impact on the world around them.
A Commitment to Inclusivity
Inclusivity lies at the heart of the ULS experience. We believe that everyone should feel free to bring their whole self to our community. At ULS, diversity is celebrated, and each person is welcomed and valued for who they truly are. Our goal is to create an environment where every student feels a profound sense of belonging and is empowered to express themselves fully. Read our Statement of Belonging.
