MESSAGE FROM THE DIRECTOR

In planning for the sehool year: the University Sehool
stall has been aeutely eonseious of the new ehallenges lacing
edueation today and mindful of the persistent educational prob-
lems of the eentury. As the plans heeome operational for the
sehool year in the elassrooms and lalioratories‘ We will eoutiuue
to evaluate our progress in providing quality edueation for hoys
and girls in the deeades ahead.

The l'niy‘ersity Sehool. an integral part of the College of
Edueation of the l'uiyersity of Kentueky. has the responsibility
for providing quality instruetion for t\\'o groups of students.
First. the institution has primary responsibility to the College
of Etlueation in the teaeher preparation program (a) to pro-
vide opportunities for eollege students to heeome actively en»
gaged in the teaelringAlearning proeess through ohseryatioir par-
ticipation. and student teaehiug‘ (h) to demonstrate elleetiye
teaehing methods and teehuiques. and te) to eonduet research
vital to the progress of all sehools. Seeond, the sehool has a
responsibility to prmide e\perieuees that will promote maxi-
mum aeademie. soeial. emotional. and physieal growth for every
memher of its student body, The stafl is eoguizant of the eom—
plexity' of these tasks and strives eonstautly to keep them in the

grades scvcn through twelve. The instructional program in
grades seven through nine is provided through the core pro~
gram with special teachers in foreign languagcs, physical edu—
cation, mathematics, science, art, and music. The senior high
school curriculum and class schedule are presented later in this
booklet.

Creative teaching. however, is the heart of a good educa—
tional program. Throughout the years the University School
staff has been recognized as the vanguard in movements that
have led to educational progress. New members of the staff,
introduecd later in this booklet, have alrcady demonstrated
their ability as creative teaehcrs and will now make a signifi-
cant contribution in a new scliool—community.

Personally, I am Vcry happy to have the opportunity to
continue to work with the staff, students. and patrons of the
University School. The work here is indeed a stinmlating and
satisfying experience.

TUITION

The tuition is $53.00 a semester. payable to the Office of
the Comptroller of the Uniyersity within thirty (lays after the
receipt of a statement from that office. Regulations of the Uni-
\‘ersity of Kentucky require a senice charge of 85.00 for de—
linquent payments.

ADMISSIONS POLICY

The University School is operated as a part of the College
of Education. Its primary purpose. therefore. is to afliord op—
portunity for teachers in training to obse1‘\ e and participate in
good school practices. \Vith existing facilities it is possible to
have only one section of each class. Since there are many more
applicants for each class than can he accepted. a responsibility
for choosing among the applications deyolyes upon the director
and the faculty. An admissions committee of three faculty
members is elected each year to administer the admission poli-
cies. The Director seryes as e\—ofticio chairman. Even though
the admissions committee would be pleased to take all children
who wish to come. and eyen though the task of making selec-
tions is difficult. the committee is forced each year to make
selections which meet the approyal of the faculty.

In order to insure that each application has fair and im—
partial consideration and in order to simplify the process of
selection. the following policies haye been deyclopcd after long
and careful study. They Iia\e the apprmal of the Dean and
the entire faculty and will be rigidly adhered to until such time
as an official re\’ision is deemed necessary.

There will be maintained in the Directors office a file of
all applications for entrance to the school. Such applications
may be made in the school ollice in person or by telephoning
252—2200, ext. i3-‘3I3.

1. The list of applications will be arranged according to
the dates upon which they were 1‘ecei\ed. \Vith the following
exceptions, the first application receiyed for any particular class
will he first on the list:

(a) The children who were enrolled in the elementary
grades that were discontinued in 1962 will be rev
admitted to the University School when the classes in
which they were enrolled reach the seventh grade.

(b) The children of the faculty in the College of Education
will be, given preference ()\'el‘ all other applicants.

(t

V

The brothers and sisters ol a child currently enrolled
in the Uniyersity School or who was enrolled in the
grades that were discontinued in 1962 will be given
a priority over all applicants except children of the
faculty of the College of Education. It is understood,
however, that the priority of brothers and sisters of a
child who was enrolled in grades one through six in
1962 is cancelled if said child does not return to the
seventh grade of the, University School.

2. Appli tants with an established priority will be consid—
cred in the chronological order in which the priority was
established.

3. The seventh grade will be composed of students in
grades that were discontinued in 1962 who elect to return and
any replacements which may have been made to bring the class
to capacity.

4. All students who succccssfully complete the required
work in a given grade are admitted to the succeeding grade.
Any vacancies created by withdrawals are filled from the wait—
ing list.

5. Only in rare instances will more than seventeen boys or
seventeen girls be admitted to the seventh or eighth grades.
The withdrawal of boys to go to prep schools creates a problem
in maintaining a balance between boys and girls in the upper
grades. For this reason 17 boys will be taken in the seventh
and eighth grades. Nineteen boys may be taken in high school.
\‘Vhen conditions warrant, the faculty may admit additionally
one student from a foreign country to each grade of the Uni—
versity School.

The faculty earnestly requests- tlmt upplicatimm- for udmissirm
to the University School not be filed if the parent expects to
trans-fer the student later.

6'. \Vhenever an applicant has been notified of a vacancy
and the applicant refuses to accept the \r'acancy, then such ap—
plicant shall be stricken from the list. However, upon request
the applicant‘s name may be placed at the bottom of the list.

7. Applications are not automatically filed for any child.
Even though brothers and sisters are enrolled and even though
it may appear to be well known that the younger child intends
to enroll in University School, the parent must file application
before the name is placed on the list.

8. \Vhen applicants are notified of a vacancy, acceptance
must be reasonably prompt. Otherwise, the applicant will be
dropped from the list and the next one on the list notified.

9. A transfer student must present evidence to show that
he has made satisfactory progress in the other school before he
will be accepted in the University School. The University
School faculty retains the right to refuse admission to any stu—
dent whenever in their judgment the best interests of the school
will be served by so doing.

10. The tuition charge for seventh through twelfth grade,
inclusive, is $55.00 per semester. Parents will be billed through
the Comptroller’s office and payment will be made through
that office.

understanding and appreciating the main figures in the diEer—
ent periods studied. Reading for pleasure and direction in read—
ing the books that should be, read before the pupil goes to col-
lege, as well as the critical analysis of the books, are particularly
stressed. Great emphasis will be placed on outlining and theme
writing.

proach will be used as for French It) with more attention being
given through diction to reading and composition.

cludes Weekly composition, and deals with French history7
