Overview

United Charter High Schools is committed to academic excellence in a welcoming, safe school environment. We develop, enlighten, and challenge a range of learners to critically and creatively solve problems inside their classrooms, in their communities, and out in the world. Through a rigorously structured system of teaching and learning, students advance their understanding of science, math, and humanities concepts and master content, knowledge, and skills, while project-based experiences spark their civic imagination and appetite for advocacy leadership.

At any of our seven charter high schools (Advanced Math and Science / Humanities) across the Bronx, Brooklyn, and Queens, students receive personalized academic and social emotional support, have access to a range of clubs, sports teams, leadership opportunities and internships, and maintain a focus on college and career readiness.

United Charter High Schools (UCHS) provide all students, regardless of their previous academic history, the highest quality education in an atmosphere of respect, responsibility, and rigor.
