CÁC TRƯỜNG THPT MỸ BANG VERMONT (VT)

 

United Christian Academy

Following the model of classical Christian education, students at United Christian Academy are encouraged to think abstractly and to analyze data, to construct logical arguments and debate, to compare and contrast, and to search for cause and effect relationships. As a result, students read widely, develop the art of oral presentation, and are taught to write research papers on a wide variety of subjects. Scientific exploration, critical reading of the great works of literature, and analysis of historical and biblical worldview issues are encouraged. It is the desire of UCA to graduate students who are able to articulate their beliefs in a variety of ways, and who are able to defend those beliefs to others who might disagree with them. Small class sized, a low student-teacher ratio, and a setting of quiet beauty enable the school to achieve these goals. Among other qualities, UCA has a highly-individualized ESL program, high average SAT scores, experience with hosting students from many countries, a fully-committed staff, and a safe and welcoming community. The area of Vermont in which the school is located is serene, pristine, and infused with natural beauty.
