Promoting Growth, Inspiring Confidence

Guided by faith, Urban Christian Academy offers students and families a safe haven to grow academically, socially, and spiritually. Whether your student needs to improve linguistically, accelerate their math competence, or build discipline and interpersonal skills, UCA is here to fill in the gaps.
Our educational philosophy and values shape our approach to each student’s needs. Students come in unsure of their place in the world and leave with confidence and hope in their future. Many UCA alumni have even been the first in their families to go to college.

Matthew 5:16

“Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good work, and glorify your Father in heaven.”
