URBAN COMMUNITY SCHOOL strives in cooperation with families to
guide the growth and development of each child: academically,
emotionally, morally, physically, and spiritually. URBAN COMMUNITY
SCHOOL strives to recognize and build upon the strengths of the child,
leading to the attainment of a healthy self-concept and those skills and
competencies necessary for each child to lead a well adjusted life in
relation to his/her family, peers, community, world, church, God.
This quality education shall be implemented through an educational
program which places emphasis on continuous progress through an
adaptation of non-gradedness. URBAN COMMUNITY SCHOOL will be
Catholic/ Christian-oriented, being sensitive to and fostering the
religious traditions and spiritual lives of the students. We value
students of diverse cultural, racial, religious, and economic
backgrounds. The educational program will encourage each child to
progress at the individual’s own pace and will strive to assist each child
to achieve his/her highest potential.
Special emphasis is placed on a nonviolent approach to problem
solving, mediation, cooperative learning, and respect for the rights of
each person. Therefore, children will be better able to face
problem-solving situations, respond to the issues in their community,
and eventually to effect improvements in society as a whole.
UCS MISSION STATEMENT
URBAN COMMUNITY SCHOOL is in existence to provide an
individualized, Catholic/Christian quality education to children of the
