Admissions Information

University Laboratory School enrolls about 420 students, comprising a cross section of Hawaiʻi's diverse population, from kindergarten through grade 12. Each year 10 students are admitted to kindergarten, and 44 students are admitted to grade 6. Applications are accepted for all grade levels, but openings are rare in grades other than kindergarten and 6.

 

Families are informed of the opportunity to seek enrollment in the school through announcements in the public media. The application period opens in October and closes in January. Application materials and timelines are available on the school Web site (http://www.hawaii.edu/crdg/uls/) or by calling the school admission line (808-956-4977).

 

Students are selected to create a student body, evenly distributed by gender that reflects the ethnic distribution of Hawaiʻi and includes a broad range of student academic achievement and family socioeconomic levels. To meet these requirements, students are selected from the applicant pool by lottery. Further criteria are that parents must be willing to have their children participate in the research and development activities of CRDG-ULS and students must be willing participants.

 

Families are notified of their children's admission status by mid-March. Parents are required to attend an orientation so they fully understand the expectations and opportunities for their children at ULS. The vision of the Laboratory School is that "all students graduate ready for college, work, and responsible citizenship."

 

The application period for the 2009-2010 school year is now open. Applications are available in a downloadable pdf format here or for pick-up in the school office. Thank you for your interest in the University Laboratory School.
