A Day in the Life at Union Colony: What Your Child Will Love Here

The morning bell at Union Colony Schools (UCS) signals the start of classes and welcomes students into a world where learning comes alive. Kindergartners dash into classrooms where teachers greet each by name, while middle schoolers gather in small groups to discuss yesterday's science experiment. Our high schoolers might be reviewing notes for their college-level courses or putting final touches on projects in our tech lab.

Small class sizes mean your child is never just a face in the crowd. Teachers know who needs extra time with fractions and who's ready for an advanced reading challenge. UCS personalizes education in ways that large schools simply can't match, and we do it tuition-free.

Learning that Leaps Off the Page

Textbooks are just the beginning at UCS. Our elementary students don't just read about plant cycles, they grow gardens in our Outdoor Learning Center. Middle schoolers transform math concepts into tangible solutions, while high school students might be earning college credits through our partnership with Aims Community College.

From Kindergarten art projects to our award-winning competitive jazz band, creativity flows through every grade level. Your child will have daily opportunities to discover talents they never knew they had.

Afternoon Adventures

Afternoons at UCS burst with energy. Elementary students might rotate through PE, music, and technology classes. Prep schoolers dive into character development and leadership training that prepares them for high school challenges. Athletes push themselves on playing fields, while artists perfect their craft in ceramics or choir.

From First Day to Graduation Day

What truly sets UCS apart is our K-12 journey. Watching first graders become confident readers, fifth graders transition to middle school challenges, and seniors graduate with college credits or trade certificates already in hand keeps us going every day. We relish in student success.

This continuous path means your child builds relationships with teachers who understand their learning style, strengths, and areas for growth. There are no awkward transitions between elementary, middle, and high school at UCS. It’s just a seamless progression of becoming their best selves.
