UCDS is not a school designed specifically for gifted children. About 2/3 of the students were accepted during preschool years when testing is not required and there is no cutoff scores for IQ tests when they are required from kindergarten on. The school is not affiliated with national or local organizations for gifted education and the school itself makes no such claims on their website or admissions literature. The administrative staff confirmed these info during admissions process. This is not to say, however, that UCDS does not have many bright students.

My daughter attended UCDS for 5 years; she was in two different classrooms. The mixed grade setting was wonderful. She was highly gifted, as are many of the students, and thrived in a setting where she could work along-side peers that were at different levels of understanding. Children learn much from modeling, as well as watching each other. It was really a fantastic experience for our whole family, and laid the foundation for her recent graduation from a top college.
