We checked in with a couple of our students at Universal Academy about their first
weeks in school. Here’s what they had to say:

Christina Shibu-11th grade

I like that I am able to work with encouraging teachers
and classmates. I would like to see more sports and career
advancing courses. After UA, I plan to major in Psychology.

Irene Park– 1st Grade

So far, I like everything about my school. My teachers and
friends are nice and I am learning and we go outside. I
want to be a famous singer one day.
