Admissions Information
University Laboratory School enrolls about 430 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 for kindergarten and sixth grade applicants is from mid-October to mid-January. The application period for all other grade levels is from mid-October to the end of March. Application materials and timelines are available on the school Website (http://www.hawaii.edu/crdg/uls/) or by calling the school admissions line (808-956-4977).
Students are selected to create a student body, evenly distributed by gender that reflects the ethnic distribution of Hawai‘i 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 ULS–CRDG 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 child at ULS. The vision of the University Laboratory School is that “all students graduate ready for college, work, and responsible citizenship.”
University Laboratory School lottery applications for the 2010-2011 school year are now available for download here or in our school office.
The application period for Kindergarten and Grade 6 is October 15, 2009 to January 15, 2010. The deadline is January 15, 2010 for Kindergarten and Grade 6.
