What we have found in Universal Academy is inclusivity in a diverse community. The nurturing environment makes each child feel safe and comfortable which in turn brings out the best in their academic efforts. Absolutely no doubts here as to why this is an A-Rated School District.

Unlike his older brothers, my youngest son didn’t have an interest in sports like baseball and football. However, he was also more academically inclined so we decided to enroll him at Universal Academy. It was a good decision as he very quickly joined their chess team.

I closely followed the story of Tiger Woods’s father and decided I wanted to have that kind of life guidance for my own son. I enrolled him at Universal Academy because they have an outstanding golf program. They also have wonderful teachers that care about their students.

When I was in school, I didn’t appreciate the opportunities I had and basically became a high school dropout. Unlike me, I want my own kids to have a financially secure future so I enrolled them all at Universal Academy. Sure, I scrub public toilets to pay the rent but my children will never do that now.

My daughter has been at this school since kindergarten and we have had a phenomenal experience. This curriculum is a great fit for her. We love the staff and the school itself. This place will teach my daughter things that other schools will not and that’s exactly how I like it.

Teachers kept saying that my daughter was bored in their class mainly because she was so already educationally gifted. She needed some advanced type of schooling and that is the reason why I decided to enroll her at Universal Academy. She is on her way having a very bright future.

Universal Academy has had such a wonderful effect on our son. He was not paying attention in school and it showed in his grades. We decided to move him here and it had made a big difference. His grades are up and he joined a club. I am so glad to see him engaged in school.

Review №14

When we adopted our child he was far from being proficient in English. At the same time we could not allow his education not to begin. We were so happy that Universal Academy was able to accommodate his background and help us make his transition as smooth as possible. He’s advancing beautifully and has a supportive school behind him.

Review №15

Clubs and activities abound here and that aspect can be just as important as academics. There are lots of participants in both the chess club and the golf program my son is involved in. He adores both and knows he needs to put as much effort into his grades as he does into them in order to ensure he is able to remain in them.

The teachers at Universal get an A+ from us. Their lessons are engaging. The way the classrooms are led and controlled by them make respect by the students organic as opposed to forced. It’s obvious they really care about the kids.

Universal Academy is second to none when it comes to its curriculum. They are unique in their studies and the instructors are dedicated to seeing every student grow into the best version of themselves. They are more than happy to provide that guidance.

We were very lucky to have been accepted to the Universal Academy this year. We were first on the waiting list, and it just so happened that a sudden move by a child allowed my child to start at the Academy come the new school year. We are thrilled.

Universal Academy has been wonderful for our two boys. They like their teachers and are challenged with their schoolwork. Their grades are way up now and they have made a bunch of new friends. I think the teachers and staff are just wonderful. This was a great decision to enroll them here!

Review №37

Anyone who is familiar with education has heard of Cambridge Assessment International Education. When we relocated to Texas placing our three boys in the best school we could find was one of our biggest concerns. Upon learning Universal is an official Cambridge licensee and the only public school in the state to hold that honor was really impressive to us. So is the outstanding education our sons are receiving.

Review №38

Finding the right resources for your children is the most important part of encouraging their education. We found that here, at Universal Academy. Since we enrolled they have helped us through their education despite covid. They have been positive, encouraging, and kind. This is the school my students will graduate from.

I have never encountered such a fantastic school before now. Unfortunately, we went to several schools due to my childrens encounter first with bullies and then with unique requirements. Here they are challenged, encouraged, and feel supported.

I appreciate the school-to-family telephone messaging service available to all Universal Academy parents. The system keeps us all aware of school events and any immediate changes. It was especially helpful during lock-down.

Since my daughter has been attending Universal Academy she has been really excited about learning and spending time with her friends. All of her teachers have been wonderful, and communicative. She has even gained an interest in chess which makes for some great bonding time for us to practice at home. We’ve been very happy with Universal Academy thus far.

Review №45

This was the best academic decision we could have made. It has been good not just for our children but for us as well. We have learned so much about how the school system works just being able to openly speak with both administration and teachers that we feel empowered to be a positive force for our childrens future.

Not only is Universal hands-on with the students but they are also hands-on with the parents. They have very high academic standards and have been recognized by the state of Texas. They are a tuition free school with high standards.

My spouse and I feel so fortunate that our daughter is attending this fine educational institution. I say this for many reasons but I am here specifically in regards to how well they handle the online learning in regards to COVID-19. My sister who lives in a northeastern state is having a much different and inferior experience with her sons.

Every step of the altered covid school year has been unique, but they have maintained the best possible communication through out. Each moment spent with a remote teacher hasnt changed our childrens grades. I am thrilled things have been amazing despite the chaos.

My nephews went to Universal Academy and I am very happy with the decision my brother and his wife made to have sent them there. The teachers, staff and the principal deserve a lot of respect and admiration for their commitment to students. I have great regard for their contribution to my nephews’ character building which include confidence, good self-esteem, respect for the law and regard for elders. I want to thank the school for the way these boys have developed into confident young men and gone on to do well in life.

Review №61

One of my proudest moments was when my 8-year old daughter came home and announced she wanted to be a teacher when she grew up. She said it was because she wanted to help children learn like all her teachers at Universal do. If that is not a testament to the fine educators here, I don’t know what it is.

Its hard to find a tuition free school that offers so many challenges to their students as well as allows then to grow both mentally and physically.

We were new Universal Academy parents this past year and we couldnt be happier. Not only had the school demonstrated everything they promised, they had exceeded our expectations. Our children love this school, the teachers, and their schedules. The support, philosophy, and accountability are all amazing. So many parents and staff were so welcoming and inclusive. Their communications with parents are well organized and they have been very responsive and helpful throughout the pandemic.

At Universal Academy, you will find educators that give the upmost consideration to the students in their care. These educators also care about the members of their staff and that is the key to showing what kind of personality you will find within those who are teaching your child. To me, that is a very needed and important aspect.

The school has been overall extremely enjoyable for my son. He switched half way through this past school year and was immediately welcomed, felt included, and the teachers were there to help make sure he didnt get behind in his school work during the transition.

An A-Rated School District in the state’s eyes was a must for us. That originally drove us to UA and the fact that our rather “wild child” is clearly developing into a young lady destined to achieve her full potential is evidence that the state’s rating is dead on.
