Required Admission Items for Grades 1-4:
- Online Application

Parent tours are an important step in getting to know University School: you will spend time with a current student, talk with teachers, and see classes in action. After your tour you’ll meet with an admission team member to get your further questions answered and go over the admission process. We recommend a weekday morning for your tour, but other times can be made available. Please email Christina Townsend Hartz to schedule your tour.

- Student Screening
This visit is a one-on-one academic skills assessment.
