Almost 50 years ago, the Ursuline Sisters of Cleveland founded Urban Community School (UCS), a quiet gem in the heart of Cleveland’s near west side where a diverse, multilingual population of low-income students, (74 percent qualify for the Federal Food Assistance Program, with more than 2/3 of our student body qualifying for free lunch), concurrently learn academics and social justice. Our commitment to differentiated instruction, multi-age learning, health and wellness, field trips and peace typifies our unique approach to student learning and success.
