Located in Mount Pleasant and serving the metro Charleston area, University School of the Lowcountry (USL) is an independent, non-sectarian school for high-achieving students. USL is a school-provided laptop school, and our curriculum is designed to engage our students at an advanced level. As seen in our signature Learning Outside the Classroom (LOTC) program, we also believe that students learn best by seeing/doing and interacting with experts in their disciplines. This entails weekly field experiences for each student in the 2008-2009 school year. University School seeks to develop self-confident, passionate, and empathetic learners who will make a positive difference in the world. Applications for the 2009-2010 school year are still being accepted (grades 4-8). If you are interested in third grade, please contact us as sufficient demand may enable us to add this grade for the upcoming year.
To get a better sense of what learning is like at University School, please take a look at our daily journal for the 2007-2008 school year. Click here to see our LOTC experiences for this year.
