Leadership Redefined

When you hear the word “leadership,” it might bring to mind one person standing in front of a group:

  • Leading the team
  • Leading on stage
  • Leading the way

And it’s true — leadership often involves stepping forward to inspire, inform, or guide others. That’s why the ULS curriculum prioritizes public speaking and performance at every grade level, equipping students with the confidence to present themselves effectively and the skills to persuade respectfully.

Leadership Means More 

At ULS, leadership is more than just a title — it’s a way of thinking, acting, and supporting those around you. It’s about:

  • Contributing — whether in big or small ways — to a cause you believe in
  • Tackling menial tasks without seeking recognition
  • Listening with intention instead of always speaking
  • Offering a kind word, just because
  • Recognizing when you need help — and having the courage to ask for it

By fostering these values, we empower our students to lead with confidence and compassion, shaping a future where leadership is about impact, not just position.

Leadership at Every Level

We view leadership as multifaceted and collaborative, empowering students to step into leadership roles in diverse ways and situations. From early confidence-building experiences to opportunities for thoughtful decision-making and teamwork, we consciously teach our students to lead with adaptability, awareness, and effectiveness.
