A child’s education isn’t just a collection of isolated years; it is a deliberate arc or journey where each stage builds upon the last to develop capable, courageous, and compassionate changemakers. Their journey encompasses everything from core academics, experiential learning, social-emotional development as well as enriched extracurricular opportunities. 

As you look toward the 2026/27 school year, we know you are curious about what is next for your child. Our “True North” remains our guiding star: ensuring every student is known, stretched, and future-ready. Whether your child is developing a strong foundation in Junior School or navigating the complex, ambitious world of our Senior School, our goal is to help them become someone exceptional and proud of who they are.

Many families have been asking what is next for their child for the year they are moving into. To help you envision the year ahead, we have attached the UA School Highlights for 2026-2027. This document is by no means inclusive of all the experiences, but helps to outline the specific opportunities or experiences that will be available, from a first overnight camp experience to advanced post-secondary planning.

Each of these experiences is planned and selected with intention. Both the main curriculum as well as the hidden curriculum (all of the extras that students experience) are designed to not just enable our students to simply graduate, but rather to have them become equipped to thrive in a complex and ever-changing world. We invite you to review the attached highlights and join us in anticipating a year of bold thinking and intentional growth.

At UA, we, along with you as their families, grow whole humans who are Smarter, Stronger, Kinder, and Braver. Thank you for partnering with us on this journey.

Warmly,
Mme. Dumortier, Ms. Manifold, Ms. Dadar, Mr. Twaites
