Urban Community School
Urban Community School was founded in 1968 by the Ursuline Sisters of Cleveland and committed lay teachers located at St. Patrick and St. Malachi parishes.
Today, UCS serves nearly 700 students from 6 weeks old - 8th grade. Seventy-six percent of our families are economically disadvantaged.
The growing campus in Ohio City is home to The MetroHealth System, House of Champions, Urban Squash Cleveland, and US Lacrosse. The Refugee Response and Facing History and Ourselves will soon open offices on campus.
UCS has received numerous awards including recognition as one of Cleveland's City Champions by The Plain Dealer, a National Green Ribbon School for Environmental Practices and Learning Model, and a School of Excellence by the Cleveland Foundation and The George Gund Foundation.
