From Sandbox to SATs: Our K-12 Academic Adventure
Transfers welcome!
Union Colony Schools (UCS) greets students by name. Every day, our teachers look scholars in the eyes and ask them questions that go beyond “yes” or “no” answers. We send them back into the world with work to finish, confidence to share, and someone expecting them back tomorrow. From kindergarten handprints to senior capstones, our teachers and staff push learning forward with momentum.
As a tuition-free charter school serving grades K–12, UCS is here for the quiet kid learning English who finally raises their hand in class. For the third grader who cracks a tough math problem and races to show their teacher. For the senior who walks across the stage with both a diploma and an Associate Degree.
Elementary: Start Fast, Stay Focused
UCS Elementary kicks off this year with upgraded classroom tech and stronger early literacy instruction. Students work with full texts while teachers dig deep into math strategies. And when someone slips behind, the response is a conversation or a call home. It’s a plan.
We’ve been named a Capturing Kids’ Hearts® Showcase School, but here, relationships are embedded in the DNA of how we teach.
Prep School: Challenge Comes Standard
Union Colony Prep is known locally as one of the toughest schools around, but it’s by design. Students juggle high expectations, tight deadlines, and accountability—plus the chance to earn college credit or an Associate Degree tuition-free through Aims Community College, located just a short walk away. And yes, our students confidently sit for the SAT, ACT, and AP exams, because they’ve been learning at that level all along.
Career pathways include certifications in culinary, automotive, criminal justice, and healthcare, so students leave with options, not just a diploma. Do we have clubs and sports? Absolutely, but with a UCS boost. We have a drama program that produces full-stage performances and a student council that manages budgets and drafts policy proposals.
More Than 21 Languages. One School.
UCS serves a multilingual, multinational, multi-story community. Our families speak Arabic, Burmese, Spanish, Somali, and more. Some drive in from other towns. Some walk from the apartments nearby. Families stick with UCS because the results follow their kids into college and careers.
It’s not too late to enroll for Fall 2025. Transfers welcome! Join us today.
