“The University School has been a godsend for our daughter. The school, its staff, teachers and community have provided exactly what she would have never found at any other school in this city, the support she needed plus the confidence to learn and explore. Prior to attending the University School, she did not feel as if she were smart or could “do” school. She had floated from school to school until we finally found her home at the University School.” —Parent
