Universal Bluford Charter School (UBCS) is a community enriched educational institution serving West Philadelphia students in grades K through 6th. One of Universal Bluford Charter Schools' central goals is enriching the community through the provision of resources and viable community partnerships. Universal Bluford Charter School's Family and Student Resource Center will connect social and mental health services to families in need.
UBCS parters with:
- Police Athletic League (PAL)
- Families and Schools Together (FAST)
- St. Mary's Episcopal Church
- Wordsworth's School Therapeutic Service (STS)
in order to enrich the school environment with resources designed to nurture the whole child's development into a well-balanced adolescent. Interwoven within the fabric of UBCS's daily practices are the principles of Nguzo Saba. These culturally-based principles are reviewed daily and used to nurture each student's development of a positive self-image. In addition to these enriching partnerships and practices, UBCS students will also have access to after school tutoring and extra-curricular activities such as dance, drums and tap. The collaborative goal of each of these services and practices is to fulfill Universal Bluford Charter School's mission.
All Universal Bluford Charter School students will be provided with daily academic rigor, community-enriched resources and extra-curricular opportunities designed to nurture their development into well-balanced adolescents who areand empowered with positive self-images.
