UCC Schools
-
Through a partnership with the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, the United Community Center operates two independent public charter schools within its campus. Our UWM Charter Agreements include Bruce-Guadalupe Elementary School (K4 through 5th grade), Bruce-Guadalupe Middle School (6th through 8th grades), and UCC Acosta Middle School (6th through 8th grades). The United Community Center also offers an Early Childhood Education Program for children 6 weeks of age to 4 years of age within its Early Learning Academies to prepare them early for academic success.

Our UCC schools are non-sectarian, nonprofit, community-based charter schools dedicated to creating an environment that fosters high expectations and excellence for all students. Our schools believe that hard work, strong parental involvement, high expectations, and knowledge of culture will lead all students to rigorous high schools and colleges and equip them with skills to be competitive in dynamic future job markets. UCC Schools provide students with a clear sense of identity, a positive attitude toward learning, and effective communication skills.
