Eligability

The early application process is open to:

  • the biological, adopted, or stepchild of a current University Cooperative School employee

  • the biological, adopted, or stepchild of a current University Cooperative School custodial parent or guardian

  • the biological, adopted, or step-sibling of an alumnus who has graduated from University Cooperative School.

Families applying through the early timeline will commit to an invitation in February 2026.
