Science is in the details! 🪲 🔎
Our 7th grade science students are putting their summer bug collections to work! They’re examining their specimens and using scientific classification skills to identify each one by order and common name.
Students are discovering the incredible detail and diversity found in God’s creation. From the smallest insect to the most intricate design, only God could create something so wonderfully detailed! 🌿🐞

Do battery-powered cars really travel at a constant velocity? 🚗
Our high school Physics students put that question to the test! Students used battery-powered cars to collect data, analyze motion, and explore the difference between constant speed and constant velocity. 📊 💜

Today, we pause to remember September 11, 2001. 🕯️
We honor those who lost their lives, those who courageously served, and the families who continue to carry their stories. May we never forget the courage, sacrifice, and unity that emerged in the face of tragedy. 🤍 🇺🇸

🧪 Chemistry is in session!
Our students kicked off their first Chemistry lab of the year by trying to understand error and precision.
Through hands-on experimentation, students are learning to identify where error can come from, explore ways to reduce it when possible, and recognize the limits of precision when using different types of laboratory equipment. 🔬 📊

📈 💰 We're excited to introduce the newest member of the UCA team, Anne Schaefer, Accounting Manager:
“The opportunity to work in an environment where everyone loves the Lord and strives to serve Him each and every day drew me to UCA. We knew UCA was the right fit for our family for education and I thought it would also be a wonderful place to work!”
“Something interesting about me is I have been to all 50 states! But I still have many more places in our country on the list to visit.”
“I am excited to come alongside staff and families to help support the mission of UCA. My daughter also started Kindergarten this year, so I'm excited to be starting on my UCA journey at the same time as her.”
💜 Help us extend a warm welcome to Mrs. Schaefer. We are blessed to have you as part of the team!

Remember when? Let’s take a look back! 📸
We’re throwing it back to the 2020 High School Retreat! These retreats have become a favorite UCA tradition and a highlight of the school year. Students get to step away from the everyday routine, build friendships, grow in their faith, and make memories together.
Now, as our current middle and high school students gear up for their retreats next week, we’re looking back with gratitude for the many students who have experienced these special times over the years.

👀 Who remembers this?
⚡Throwing it back to our very first Spirit Week in 2019! That year marked the beginning of United Christian Academy, bringing together three school communities with a shared vision for Christ-centered education. What an incredible journey it has been since our founding!
💜 From those first days to today, we’re grateful for the students, families, staff, and community who have helped shape UCA.

✏️📚 Learning is better together!
Mrs. Nerdahl’s fourth graders are putting their spelling skills into practice as they work together to review and practice their words.
The class is also learning to identify simple and compound subjects and predicates. They first work as a class and then refine their skills with a partner sitting close by.

After reading 'We’re Going on a Bear Hunt' during their first week of school, our kindergarteners took the adventure outside! 🐻
They wrapped up the week with their very own bear hunt followed by a Teddy Bear Picnic with their new classmates. 🧺🧸
What a fun way to bring a favorite story to life and to make some sweet first-week memories!

Our Medical Terminology students put a creative spin on a classic PBS favorite as they learned how to build medical terms using prefixes, root words, and suffixes!
Inspired by Between the Lions and its memorable “Gawain’s Word” segments, students brought their learning to life with a fun spoof designed to help them break down and put together medical terminology. Because sometimes the best way to learn a new language is to have a little fun with it! 🩺 🔤 🦁

3rd Day of 3rd Grade 🎉
Mrs. Ray’s students had some extra fun celebrating the 3rd day of 3rd grade yesterday!
The number 3 was woven throughout the day with themed Bible stories, games, and books, including Rock, Paper, Scissors—which, of course, led to a few friendly rounds of competition! ✊✋✌️
To finish the day, they spent some time painting rocks, because after all…3rd Grade ROCKS! 🪨 🎨
