Parent Tours

The first step in the UCDS admission process is the school tour. A tour is a required part of application to UCDS. We conduct tours to give prospective families an opportunity to see the school in action. Please remember, tours are for parents only—your child will have an opportunity to visit UCDS at a later time.

During your tour, you will have the opportunity to see our preschool through 5th grade programs and specialists. Your tour includes time in a classroom, working with our students, followed by a walk-through of the entire campus. We end the morning with the Head of School sharing the school's philosophy and hallmark programs, followed by a question and answer session with members of the faculty.
