University School of Nova Southeastern University Hosts Open House

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. – University School will host an Open House, Grades 6-12, from 1:00 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. on Nov. 21.

A part of Nova Southeastern University, University School enrolls approximately 1,500 students in pre-kindergarten through grade 12.

Admission to University School is determined by a number of factors, which vary with grade levels. Students may be evaluated based upon, standardized testing, personal interviews or observation sessions, academic records, teacher recommendations, previous school experiences, qualities of character and concern for others.

In establishing its student population, University School seeks to effect a match between each applicant's learning profile and the nature of the instructional programs the school offers. Prior to acceptance, the Office of Admission evaluates each applicant's overall performance and academic history.

University School admits students whose learning profiles - scholastic aptitude, academic achievement, and social/emotional behavior - are average to gifted. University School accepts the premise that each child is unique in ability, talent, and learning style. In accepting that premise, the school recognizes its responsibility in creating an appropriate learning environment for each student.

University School supports the standards adopted by the State of Florida and our accrediting agencies that "a child entering kindergarten should be five years of age by September 1."
