INNOVATION
Student ownership of their learning is at the center of everything we do.
University Prep is a 6-12 Independent School located in Northeast Seattle that fosters intellectual courage and social responsibility.
University Prep is a 6-12 independent school where students run with their minds. We offer an intellectually rich education that fosters deep inquiry and critical thinking, powered by student engagement.
To support our Upper School students' success and ignite their passion for collaboration, growth, creativity, and leadership, we will construct the ULab, a 39,000-square foot, three-story building across the street from our existing campus (opening Fall 2023).
We took a forward-thinking vision and turned it into actionable items designed to keep UPrep on the edge of transformational change.
UPrep's intensive classes allow students to focus on a single course of study for three weeks, creating a structure for deep, collaborative, student-led learning experiences.
From our annual Social Justice Day to classroom assignments and affinity groups, equity, justice, and inclusion are embedded into all that we do.
UPrep's 2000+ alumni are essential members of our community and continue to play an invaluable role in the history and future of the school.
