The University School is a K4-12th private Christian School. We are a hybrid model, giving you the best of both worlds between in-person class and homeschooling.
We are on campus on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, and doing at-home learning on Monday and Friday.
With all at-home instruction provided, you have a chance to be involved in your children's education, without having to bear the load of picking curriculums and making lesson plans.
Our mission: To ignite a lifelong passion for Jesus in our students through Worship, Academics, Missions, Leadership, and Adventure.
