UCA is a member of the Penn-Jersey League consisting of other independent schools in New Jersey and Pennsylvania.
The athletic program at UCA provides opportunities for our students at every grade and ability level to fully participate on a team. At UCA, our athletes and coaches use the athletic field to serve as examples to make an impact for Christ through sports. Student-athletes develop leadership skills such as discipline, teamwork, commitment and servitude that reflect the principles of the Bible.
Chapel
UCA not only educates through a Biblical view, but also leads students in weekly Chapel and daily devotionals. We believe every Christian should know the Word of God, worship together as a community, pray over each other and the school, and devote time to learning together in small groups.
