We are currently in our 2nd year at University Christian and it couldn't be better. My son transitioned in 6th grade for Middle school he was a little nervous coming to a new school not knowing anyone and now it truly is our family. I am very thankful for the staff and teachers that pour into my son like he is their own. 10/10 recommend!

I love that it is a Christian school and is small in size. I love how for the most part it feels like your second family. The one thing that I would change about my school is the staff actually knowing how to do their job and having a degree in what their teaching.

University Christian is the best! I started in 9th grade and from day 1 everyone made me feel at home. I have many friends and some are even teachers and staff. I'm gals to graduate but am sad that I'll miss many of the people I met there. Academically they prepared me for college and I've been accepted to all 3 of the colleges I applied to.

Someone stole my daughters AirPods right from her bag because the backpack hooks were on the opposite wall than they were supposed to be, I was then lied to when I was told they had been moved to the proper place. Nothing was done and I received ZERO compensation. Staff hardly respond to emails

Our son attended from 8th grade to 12th and excelled at UCS. The teachers and staff were wonderful and truly cared for my son's well-being and education. I grew up in the Jacksonville public school system and was in no way about to put our child through that. From day 1, the students were very frien...

Excellent school with great teachers, administrators, and coaches who really care about your son or daughter. We moved to the area from out of state and it's been nothing but a top notch experience for our son. You won't find a better school for the price. Great leadership from the top down. Highly...
