Welcome to UCA
I am so glad that you are looking into UCA — whether you are actively seeking admission or just accidentally found your way here while browsing around.
At UCA, we are not just a school — we are a family. A family who laughs together, prays together, learns together and occasionally loses a crayon or a pencil together (but never our homework!)
But more importantly, we are a Christian-centered community that believes education is about more than just facts and figures. It’s about shaping hearts, minds and lives through the truth of God’s Word. Our mission is rooted in Biblical values, strong character and academic excellence — and we take that seriously.
We use a blend of Christian and carefully selected curriculum, integrating faith with high academic standards. We challenge students to think critically, to love learning and to live boldly for Christ. Our teachers are passionate, our classrooms are purposeful and our school days are filled with discovery, joy and a whole lot of grace!
If you are looking for a place where your child can grow in faith, knowledge and confidence — surrounded by a loving and caring staff and like-minded families — then welcome home.
I’d love to meet you in person soon.
With joy and gratitude,
Jeremy Rawls (Dr. J)
Head of School
Union Christian Academy
