Schedule a Candidate Visit & Assessment

An application must be submitted prior to scheduling a school visit and assessment. An age-appropriate visit allows prospective students to experience a typical day. An age-appropriate assessment will be conducted during the school visit for Prek- 8th-grade candidates. Upper school candidates attend a group assessment date.

Gather Required Documents

Once you've completed an application, your admissions associate will share the next steps. They differ per division and include completing or requesting others to complete forms on the applicant's behalf. An application will not be considered complete until ULS has received all required documents.

Wait for a Decision

Candidates may be admitted, wait-pooled, or denied. Decisions for applications received after the deadline will be communicated on a rolling basis. We encourage you to apply early.
