The purpose of University School is to provide a quality education for academically gifted students. The goal is for University School students, as they grow and develop, to become creative producers who will be assets to society. Thus our students come to us with at least one of the three necessary components to be a creative producer. At University School we work to develop and nurture all three components.
Bright children thrive on learning.
They often immerse themselves in gaining knowledge for self-selected topics. What is developmentally appropriate for most children may not be developmentally appropriate for gifted children. Some of these children learn to read spontaneously and begin studying advanced material at an early age. Others become passionately engrossed in a variety of individual subjects. Many exhibit advanced logic and verbal skills and learn quickly.
