At USPA, we are at the forefront of what teaching and learning could and should be.
Our students are inspired by a sense of wonder and discovery, and are encouraged to explore and uncover new interests and passions, making their educational journey both personal and fulfilling.
With captivating project-based learning, personalized feedback, and countless opportunities to engage with their classmates and teachers, students thrive in our robust online middle school and high school programs.
Our students, drawn by a sense of wonder and whoa!, think deeply, solve problems that matter, and grow in their understanding of themselves and the world.
Our students receive expert, individualized feedback and support as they engage with complexity and challenge across disciplines and create a body of work that showcases their voice and ideas.
Our students are empowered to use curiosity as their compass and shape their learning path, uncovering new interests and passions as they explore.
Our students form respectful and trusting relationships with their teachers and peers, gain skills in cultivating a life of harmony and purpose, and benefit from a schedule that adapts to their lifestyle.
Our students thrive as they experience our inclusive and supportive learning environment where they feel seen, heard, and valued.
At USPA, our project-based learning program is designed to foster student growth through our D-E-A-R model:
Discover, Explore, Apply, and Reflect
This unique learning cycle begins with students independently discovering the material, sparking their curiosity and igniting a passion for learning. In the explore phase, teachers guide students through interactive activities to deepen their understanding of the topic.
Students then apply their knowledge independently, demonstrating their comprehension to their teachers. Finally, through reflect, students evaluate the entire learning process, gaining insights into the ‘why’ behind their studies.
This virtuous circle promotes engagement and growth, igniting curiosity and enabling our students to truly thrive.
You have the opportunity to go to class twice a week with your teacher and classmates that you can collaborate with and there’s also an independent component where you have the freedom to work independently with the full support of your teachers, getting really specific feedback personalised just for you. All students also have full 24/7 access to their class recordings for times when they may need additional flexibility or want to review a lesson at their own pace.
We work with you to make sure you’re in the right classes for you. Do you want to continue a language you’ve studied before? Great, we’ll place you in the right level. Have some catching up to do in math? No problem, we will place you where you are and support you all the way.
USPA Live is optimized for continental US time zones. Our live class schedule will be offered throughout the day from 8am EST to 7pm PST, so can tailor your class schedule around your schedule. If for whatever reason you can’t make a class, you have full 24/7 access to the recording of your classes and can check in with your teachers where you could use some additional support.
