We promote an atmosphere of openness in which students can exchange ideas. We are proud of our small community and of the ways in which, despite our size, we are a diverse community. Diversity is fundamental to the mission of University High School. We reach out to include people of different races, ethnicities, faiths, socioeconomic circumstances and education backgrounds. We seek students whose perspectives can contribute to the classroom. The range of backgrounds found in our student body has a direct impact on the depth and quality of classroom discussions.
 

We were a little concerned that the school would be just for “rich kids.” Instead, we have found the school really does mean what it says about valuing diversity. Our child has made friends with others from many different backgrounds. She feels that students are accepting of one another for who they are – not a common thing at most high schools.
