OUR MISSION
To transform lives and our communities through the power of education.
OUR VISION
For every child, an open door.
Our focus on academic excellence, paired with intentional student supports and interventions, regular homework, and advanced work, ensure that scholars of all levels are driven to grow and succeed. From their first steps onto a USN campus, students are exposed to colleges through themed homerooms and regular visits to local colleges and universities.
USN scholars develop the character traits necessary for success through the use of research-based character education programs. This focus on character development and simple student uniform supports a safe, respectful environment where students collaborate to meet their goals and thrive.
Our school is non-profit and does more than close the achievement gap for low-income and high-need students. We open their minds to learning - with discipline and mutual respect - and give students the life skills to gain entrance, gain success and gain a degree from the most demanding high schools and colleges. Our school is proudly authorized by the Thomas B. Fordham Foundation.
