The realization that high quality early childhood education positively impacts all sectors of community has renewed inspiration, innovation, collaboration, and opened a fresh dialogue regarding early childhood led by the U School in Ann Arbor, MI. Reimagining the early childhood experience for the 21st century takes Community Supported Education!




Participate, build, learn, create impact, and have fun with The U School!


You can join the U Team by donating to the U School's CSE.
  • What is a CSE? "Community Supported Education" is a new model for individual involvement in education reform. Donors fund goals and objectives that cultivate the full potential of children in their community. In addition, donors, are empowered to participate in live and web events that promote enhancing the CSE. 
  • What do CSE donors of The U School receive? 
    • A welcome package (donor appreciation letter, U Impact certificate, and U School magnets) from The U School.
    • Networking opportunities within a highly connected group of community members.
    • A platform on which to share, discuss, and learn with experts, community members, and families about high quality early childhood development and best practices.
    • The opportunity to create short and long term impact for The U School and our community. We call it "U Impact."
    • Invitations to "U Impact" and "Gratitude" events, live and web based.

The U School's goal is to deliver "U Impact" results. In 2014 our CSE helped brainstorm and fund a U School community play program, U Play. Over 100 participants attending each of our five U Play Pop-Ups.

Our 2015 CSE goals include: continuing U Play Pop-Ups and opening the U School's next program, U Learning, our classroom program.
