Interested in 2026-27 Enrollment and Beyond? “Claim Your Spot!”

The U School offers a flexible option for families to secure their child’s spot in line for enrollment in U Learning. A $50 deposit, fully refundable at any time, claims a U Learning enrollment spot in line for your child. Claim your spot!

Here’s how it works:

      • Submit a fully refundable deposit of $50 and be placed on a first come, first serve “claim your spot” (CYS) list.
      • Once U Learning enrollment begins for the “claim your spot” families, and for the year you are interested in, you may submit an enrollment application.
      • At any time you can request to be removed from the list and have your deposit refunded.
      • When U Learning enrollment opens for the year you are interested in, your $50 enrollment deposit pays the $50 enrollment application fee.

Two step process to “claim your spot:”

1. Submit your “claim your spot” deposit online

2. Fill out the “claim your spot” form

The U School facilitates a three-phased enrollment process for each upcoming school year. School years begin at the end of August and run through mid-June.
