Dear UCA Students, it is my pleasure to welcome everyone back for another great year at UCA, the Universal Civilization Academy, and I extend an especially warm greeting to all our new students who have just joined us.

UCA offers a bilingual education in both English and Arabic. This bilingual character is the school's most distinctive feature: learning another language gives students skills not achieved through a regular language arts program. Perhaps more importantly, a bilingual education prepares students for higher learning in a rapidly changing world, while still keeping them in contact with their Arab culture and heritage. Our vision at UCA is to inspire students to become responsible, creative, and enthusiastic learners.

Students have access to a computer lab that meets their needs for research and for keeping pace with the latest technologies. The science lab is safe and fully equipped, and reading lessons take place in our bilingual library.

We are also pleased to inform you that our school has applied for AdvancED accreditation. An accredited institution provides a quality education program built upon a clearly defined philosophy and objectives that are appropriate for the school's unique population.

We have a caring and positive staff, and our school strives to develop the strong skills that allow students to pursue their dreams and goals as they grow into young adults. I look forward, with you, to a successful academic year.
