In my opinion, the best feature of UST is its warm atmosphere and the individual attention they pay to each and every student. Communication and feedback are very good: I know very well how my child is doing, and i feel well-supported as a parent. The school is very international and inclusive. The teachers and principal are friendly and understanding, making UST feel like a true community. I am also happy with the balanced education model at the school: while being strong academically, they value creativity, after-school clubs, field trips, and other experiences that enrich education. I am very happy with UST!

I have two children at UST and we all really love the school. We were at a bigger, more expensive school before but my children definitely receive more attention and care at UST. The staff is friendly and dedicated and the principal knows every child and parent by name which is amazing. The academic standards are high; they also teach Japanese every day. Easy recommendation!

We have been a UST family for five years now and are very thankful for the quality academic experience the school provides at such an affordable cost. The school has dedicated teachers and staff , the administrators take parent-feedback to heart, and the close-knit community of involved families is an added bonus. We have been very happy here.

UST is a wonderful school that cares about students and is run by dedicated teachers and staff. The program is academically strong and also well-balanced: I love their music and arts programs, frequent field trips and events, guidance program etc. I feel the school really cares about every aspect of my child's development. I also really really like that they put a lot of effort into the Japanese language program. The fees are much lower than other schools, which I really appreciate. I only have great things to say about UST.
