Falk Family Center for Learning Engagement
ULS is thrilled to have established the Falk Family Center for Learning Engagement in 2024. While it is common for classrooms to have students who represent broad learning differences, ULS has a unique opportunity to serve students with neurodivergencies thanks to its small student-to-teacher ratio, thoughtful Reggio-inspired environment, and renowned responsive and inclusive culture to become a true destination for learning among an increasingly diverse population of learners.
Without stigma or separation from the community, the philosophical approach of the Center is to continue to see difference as a strength and to empower students to unlock their unique gifts and potential to make good on our non-profit mission and to lead the next generation of innovation, success, and service to humanity.
Through this program, ULS provides:
Embracing Diversity: Our Vision
ULS students have long enjoyed an environment that acknowledges and celebrates learning differences, with a philosophy and pedagogy that proudly celebrates the whole child, original thinking, and an “outside-the-box” approach to mastery and growth.
With this expanded commitment to identifying, celebrating, and accommodating learning differences, ULS will capitalize on its enduring strengths and potential by taking full advantage of the burgeoning field of brain science and its emergent educational insights. All students at ULS shall have the tools they need to thrive in school and life as global citizens and thought leaders.
The high aim of this center requires unwavering belief in the children of today — and the intentional and sustained support of students with neurodiversity and exceptional learners. University Lake School is committed to empowering students to unlock their unique gifts and potential to make good on our non-profit mission and to lead the next generation of innovation, success, and service to humanity.
