Urban Community School

For over 50 years, Urban Community School (UCS) has served Cleveland’s near west side children by providing an individualized, innovative, and challenging education. Rooted in the Ursuline Sisters’ tradition of faith, character, and educational excellence, UCS engages our faculty, families, and community partners in the successful whole child development of students. Our school utilizes Restorative Practice and Conscious Discipline. UCS currently serves nearly 700 students from 6 weeks old thru 8th grade within both the school and our new Gallagher Family Early Education Center. Partnerships and collaborations are core to our work. Our growing campus is home to The MetroHealth System, House of Champions, Urban Squash Cleveland, and US Lacrosse. We will soon welcome the headquarters of both The Refugee Response and Facing History and Ourselves to our campus. Learn more about our history and new projects here.
