United Charter High School for the Humanities

Public charter option with a separate application process outside zoned assignment.

UCHS Humanities provides all students, regardless of their previous academic history, the highest quality education in an atmosphere of respect, responsibility, and rigor. UCHS schools ensure that graduates have the skills and content knowledge necessary to succeed in postsecondary choices by engaging students, teachers, and administrators in learning experiences that allow risk-taking, embrace multiple attempts at learning, cultivate students' imaginative and creative abilities, and celebrate achievement. Through an intensive study of English, math, history, and science, students learn how to generate research questions, develop the skills necessary to answer those questions, create products that demonstrate understanding, and defend their knowledge publicly. The objective is to create a school of the highest academic standards that prepares and supports students to graduate ready for college, career, and a 21st century economy. We want our students to be challenged and will shift the dynamics from one where students receive information to one where they find solutions to problems using their imagination coupled with their mastery of content and skills. We strive to build a community that values individuality, fosters a passion for learning, and promotes college and career readiness for all.
