United Charter High Schools are designed to help students towards meeting diploma requirements at their individual skill level and at a developmentally appropriate pace. We use a trimester system, meaning we have three terms within a school year, along with an extended school day to increase the opportunity for students to gain credits, prepare for Regents exams, and demonstrate mastery within their first years of high school. This design frees time at the end of high school for a number of postsecondary opportunities, where students participate in career exploration opportunities and advanced courses to prepare for life, college, and a career. All of our courses emphasize reading, writing, speaking and listening skills. All courses are challenge-based, meaning students seek answers to important questions and apply what they learn to real-life situations, reflecting our commitment to culturally responsive-sustaining pedagogy. In every class, students will ask questions, conduct research, produce original work, and defend their work in public presentations.
