All UCAP students have repeated at least one grade prior to
enrolling at UCAP. Most students have also exhibited many
characteristics associated with being at serious risk of
dropping out of school, such as absenteeism or negative
behavior resulting in suspension. Many have family problems.
Beyond School programs extend learning time and engage
students in academic, cultural and recreational activities.
They are essential to our success: UCAP
met all academic standards and attendance targets for
2009-2010!
