I have one son who graduated from UCA in 2020, one currently in 11th, and one in 7th grade. I can honestly say that this school has been one of the biggest blessings of our lives. My oldest was well prepared for college, and the school's aviation program sparked an interest that will now turn into his career as a commercial pilot. The teachers at the school truly care about our kids and not only teach their subject material with excellence but serve as mentors and godly examples for our boys. The school has also been a great place for both our boys and us as parents to participate in the community and make lifelong friends.
