We work with and encourage students as individuals. We nurture students’ curiosities and encourage their unique strengths while also developing their areas of challenge. Students advance their skills and approach inquiry and understanding in a way that sets them up for the satisfaction of life-long learning.

Our teachers design tailored learning experiences. Teachers collaborate daily, integrating multiple perspectives and professional experiences to create instructional plans that meet each student’s needs.

Uniquely designed educational programs support each child’s learning approaches and stoke their inherent curiosity. There are no limits on learning. We stretch each student toward the next steps in their educational journey.

UCDS’ yearly theme-driven learning allows students to build skills and explore multiple facets of a single concept across all school subjects. Our innovative learning model sets UCDS apart. We encourage visionary thinking, where teachers as well as students reflect, iterate and think critically.
