An Introduction to the University School of Colorado Springs

USCS incorporates the best aspects of traditional schools (public and private) with home education. Through this model, K through 12th grade students are well-prepared for higher education while developing spiritually in their Christian faith. Quality classroom instruction is given two to three days a week, where a high standard in academics is emphasized.  On the alternate days, when students are off campus, parents continue the instruction or maintain student progress as each student completes his/her assignments.  USCS teachers provide parents with complete instructions for the days spent off-campus.

In addition to providing a quality education, at USCS we want our students to develop a passion for worship, strong character qualities, and leadership skills.  To that end, we offer opportunities for mission trips and community service and plenty of outdoor adventures.

The National Association of University Model Schools

Until the University Model School (UMS) came along, the only alternative to traditional classroom education was home education. Although home education is an excellent option, it is difficult for many parents to maintain through high school, particularly with more advanced classes. UMS students attend classes only half of the traditional number of hours, with amazing results in the areas of character development and college preparation. The secret is the higher degree of parental involvement that is systematically integrated into the college-like format.
