We’re so glad you’re here.

Because who you learn with matters.

 

Here’s your pathway to becoming a Phoenix family:

We’re a school that values community, and we hope you’ll join us on campus sometime to get to know us! Some of the best ways to do that are at an open house, or coming to shadow a UCA student for a day.

You can also schedule a personalized tour by contacting Mrs. Veldboom at aveldboom@weareuca.org

Our application process is done completely online. Here’s what it entails:

  1. Family information to be filled out by the parent (~10 minutes)

  2. An eight-question student response section to be completed by the student (~30-90 minutes)

We also require a few forms, such an academic reference, a character recommendation, and information from your previous school.

After your application is received, the UCA admissions team will reach out to schedule an interview where you and your student will meet with a member of our team. We want to get to know your family and understand the needs and goals of your child to make sure we’re a good fit.

After the interview, families will work with the admissions team to determine what their means-based tuition will be.

After the admissions team makes a final decision, you’re officially a Phoenix family! And you’ll receive further communication from our team to finalize your enrollment.

 

We hope you’ll take the time to get to know us here at UCA. This website is a great place to start, but we hope you’ll also come to campus and see what we’re all about. Here are some different ways to experience UCA in person:
