What Makes Us Different
"The goal when we started UPA was to offer students of low-income families and working-class families an opportunity to attend a private school where they could get caught up on grade level and succeed."
Pastor Wade Moore Jr.
Founder & Dean
We exist to provide educational opportunities serving children from low-income and working-class families who choose and alternate route in the children’s educational journey.
Our mission is to provide students with a world-class school that gives students the knowledge, skills, character, and disposition to meet and exceed Kansas State Common Core Learning Standards, and prepares students for college and career. We will be a leading example of education in our community by becoming the first school of choice. We will grow a grade level each year until we reach 12th grade.
Our goal is to build students’ intellectual character, motivating them to think critically, creatively, and reflectively in an environment infused with community empowerment. Our instructional methods, educational philosophy and mission are carefully aligned to promote high academic achievement. We will partner with families and community organizations to help students develop the necessary skills to navigate the path to academic and career success.
How We Are Changing Education
We create an environment that prepares children for the world ahead.
We care about the student in the classroom and outside the classroom. We believe in developing character in an environment that is charged with excitement to learn and grow.
We create excitement and community every morning when the entire school comes together to listen to devotional studies and inspirational speakers.
Each student participates in monthly assessment testing. These tests allow us to tailor curriculums so that students can grow and thrive.
We offer a course to all students that focuses on teaching students how to budget, invest, create business plans, apply for business licenses and have opportunities to interact and learn from local businesses.
We believe sports are a great tool to develop soft skills like hard work, teamwork, problem-solving, time management, critical thinking, and communication. All students are required to participate in our sports program no matter their fitness level.
