Incredible school. I have learned so much and was so prepared for the college process with their support.

UHS is a great school with very driven students and parents. There are multiple opportunities for leadership, sports, arts, and pursuing other interests through the Independent Study Program. I did not personally enjoy my time as a student due to the small size and school culture, however I have friends who loved it. I feel very prepared for college.

Easily comparable to the great private schools of America like Andover. There are other credible private high schools in San Francvisco, but no one with knowledge would bebate that UHS is at the top of the heap. A national innovator (created Summerbridge), an extraordinary curriculum and faculty, ju...
