Investing in Your Child's Future
Our curriculum provides a complete laboratory for learning, amplified by local and global leadership experiences beyond campus. Our close knit community of teachers and parents enable strong relationships with students, nurturing their talents and interests. Young people leave ULS equipped for lives of leadership and service to humanity.
Indexed Tuition
The indexed tuition model allows for families to make the investment in a ULS education attainable for their circumstances. The model follows moderation guidelines set forth by the National Association of Independent Schools (NAIS). The formula takes into account household income, debts, assets, unusual expenses or circumstances, number of children attending tuition-paying schools, and more.
We understand that there is great diversity in family circumstances. Our indexed tuition program recognizes those differences and provides a range of tuition so that we charge the rates that are right for each family. And since indexing tracks with changing circumstances and the cost of living, families who attend ULS know that they can stay at ULS.
Families, especially those with multiple children, are encouraged to complete a confidential indexed application. The indexed committee meets weekly and are committed to protecting the privacy of families. Long-term tuition commitments are available.
Indexed Tuition Application Process
Full Indexed applications for 2025-26 are now open. ULS partners with Clarity as our indexed tuition application processing system. Clarity offers a streamlined, mobile-friendly experience for families, making it easier to apply. For more details, please read the Clarity FAQ. Submitting an indexed tuition application will not impact in any way the decision to admit your child. All information provided remains confidential and is solely used for determining indexed tuition.
