Founded in 1829 with a commitment to public purpose, UCC is a progressive, high-performance school that values learning, pluralism, service, community, and wellbeing. A UCC experience is about celebrating differences, cherishing similarities, and giving voice to multiple perspectives – inspiring each boy to be his best self and to make a lasting and positive impact on his world.
