Transition School to Early Entrance
The Transition School (TS) is a distinctive one-year college preparatory program at the University of Washington. Designed for students who engage with learning at an advanced level, TS provides a pathway for early entry into the University as fully matriculated undergraduates through the Early Entrance Program. Students apply during their 8th grade year and participate in the Transition School during what would otherwise be their 9th grade year.
In addition to rigorous coursework, TS fosters a supportive learning community that helps students navigate the academic, social, and personal transitions of early university entry. The program values diversity and actively supports exceptional students from a wide range of backgrounds and communities, ensuring access to the resources and environment necessary to thrive in a rigorous academic setting.

"I love how TS provides a learning space with incredible instructors and staff, a rigorous yet supportive learning environment, and a group of passionate peers who feel more like family than classmates. It has allowed me to push what I had perceived as my academic limits and opened doors to opportunities I’ve never dreamed of before."
- Alexandra, TS Student
