Signature Programs
At UHS, we believe that learning is an active, collaborative experience where students are encouraged to lean into the challenges facing our world.
Our signature programs serve as a vehicle for this exploration, providing the space for students to be the architects of their own education. Grounded in our core values of inquiry, integrity, care, agency, and interconnection, these initiatives empower students to pursue a "purpose larger than self" while developing the confidence to navigate their high school journey and beyond.

Through these Signature Programs, students find many ways to explore, learn, grow, and thrive.

An integral part of our commitment to interconnection , this program epitomizes our dedication to educational equity and the belief in the promise of every student.
Civilization & the Arts
Since the founding of UHS, Civ has served as the cornerstone of the Humanities program, examining the transcultural relationship between the west and the world.

The Institute for Responsive Education (REd): A four-year curriculum centered on Metacognition, Health & Wellness, and Ethnic Studies to cultivate a learning environment where identity is honored and relational learning is embraced.
Social Impact
Built on our fundamental belief in collective responsibility, students learn to serve the broader community through leadership and engagement programs that reflect our identity as a school "in and of the San Francisco Bay Area."
Professional Artist Series
