 Academics 

University Christian School is an evangelistic Christian School focused on providing biblical worldview development and a quality spiritual, academic and extracurricular education to its students.

Daily Bible-based classes, weekly chapels, missions development programs, spiritual retreats, special spiritual emphasis weeks, and other related activities are all part of a comprehensive plan for spiritual growth for our students.  Biblical truths are a part of all academic disciplines at UCS.  We seek to equip students with a Biblically-based worldview.

We help students acquire the skills and attitudes necessary to be lifelong learners who can achieve their educational potential.  Classes are taught with the college-bound student in mind. 

UCS provides opportunities to participate in a quality extracurricular program that includes mission activities, band, chorus, drama, athletics, and numerous clubs and organizations.
