Empowerment

Our students graduate with increased confidence and clarity about their future. The UCA learning process encourages all students to recognize and develop their unique gifts and to boldly use them for the good of others.
 

Diversity

We seek to admit and serve students and families from all social, economic, ecumenical and cultural backgrounds. A diverse learning community deeply committed to one another stands as a powerful testament to the Gospel and prepares students to seek restoration in a world marred by conflict and injustice.
 

Unity

The school we create together enthusiastically affirms the Gospel of Jesus Christ and it is by this hope alone that we seek unity in diversity. The love of Christ compels us to work together for the restoration of this world.
 

Excellence

Students and teachers invest all the knowledge, skills and gifts they have been given so as to glorify God. As a result of our obedience to Christ, we promote relational, rigorous and relevant scholarship that integrates faith and learning. The pursuit of excellence is worship.
 

Flourishing

The purpose of education is ultimately wrapped up in God’s mandate for human beings to create, improve, and seek the fulfillment of His creation. We do this by learning, working, building culture, and having faith that God will finish His good work.
