Mashallah! I love Universal School. I have all my three children attended and graduated with honors, Bismillah.
All three of my children were well prepared for college. Two are now Doctors and one is currently studying Computer Science, specializing in Animation and Artificial intelligence at IIT. I highly recommend Universal School for college and life preps. Ahamdulillah!

It's fine. If you're into science/STEM, go for it. But if you loath them, I'd stay away. This school is 95% STEM. Academics are decent; some classes are better than others, though. Favoritism for leadership positions in clubs & whatever is inescapable & extremely agitating, but I guess it's natural in a school that most people have attended since diapers. Still sucks. Pre-covid school vibe was a depression culture. Everyone wanted everyone else to be as depressed as them. It might get better now, though, since everyone has gotten a taste of life without all of that. I have no idea since we're not "back to normal" yet. Islamic culture is whatever. You're sheltered, but there's no... like, Islam itself isn't necessarily embedded into the school culture imo; it's just that everyone there is a Muslim, if you get what I mean. Depends on what you're looking for. Subpar college admissions help. They barely tell you anything until 12th g. You're largely on your own there tbh. A solid 5/10
As both a former parent and staff member, I can say without a doubt Universal prepared my child extremely well for life after high school. The school has much more to offer in academics and sports than many similar religious private schools. The environment is positive and helps students adjust well given all the resources it has compared to other schools. The school has a long history of helping students achieve their goals, and teachers are always willing to help. Universal is definitely a place to find a sense of community and support that will help students meet their goals.
