Secondary
7th through 12th GRADE
The USCS Vision for Elementary Students and Families:
The University Model School is a unique blend of traditional private education and
home education. Through USCS, parents will remain deeply involved in their child’s
day-to-day development while providing an excellent education. Within this model,
students will attend school twice a week (Tuesday and Thursday) where they will
receive a full day of instruction. Our caring, professional teachers engage the
students with hands-on projects and creative field trips. Teachers grade all
assignments, quizzes, and tests, and provide progress reports and report cards for
each student throughout the year.
Wednesday include class times for science labs and elective courses. Monday and
Friday are home education days in which the parents function as supervisors to
students who complete the provided USCS lesson plans.
The Benefits of this Model for Elementary Students and Families:
• Strong Parental Involvement, keeping the students grounded in their family's
values and building on this foundation as they prepare for their college years
• Experiential Instruction, using hands-on projects and adventure trips to fully
engage even the most reluctant student
• Character and Spiritual Development from caring Christian teachers who
interweave these vital principles into class time
• Private School Setting, where traditional classroom etiquette is expected
• Small Class Sizes, allowing for personal attention from the teacher
• Social Interaction, as students form wonderful friendships with their fellow
classmates
• Flexible Lifestyle: Home schooling - whether full time or part time - affords
incredible opportunities for spontaneity in family life
• Lesson Plans and Grading: the burden of writing lesson plans, grading
assignments, and preparing report cards is completely removed from the home
schooling parent, as these are part of the services that USCS provides
• Student Responsibility: the students learn to take initiative and work
independently, as they work within a university-style schedule
