Union Preparatory Academy at Indian Trail

Very pleased to get both my children out of public schools around here. Advanced children are held back to the lowest standard in public schools and ESL halts progress for many students. Bullying was a daily thing that was not addressed unless you were persistent or dealt with the bullies parents yourself.

Union prep is a breath of fresh air. Teachers seem to care about their students and engage them during class. In addition, the uniform policy helps to negate the possibility of children being distracted by fad or trend wear.

Only downside is drop off and pick up, with no busses running it conflicts with work schedules daily but made to work with two parents splitting the task. Well done UPA.

This is our third year in a row, and I worked at UPA, know it from inside. Can’t say it’s good or bad in one word, there are a lot of issues. It’s hard to explain what pressure they have for some students and teachers. Most of the teachers are nice with students and staff, some aren’t, and it’s life. But the most important aware some teachers who can lie, because I met one, and couldn’t believe it happened, and many people from staff know it and didn’t do anything.

I've been at UPA since it first opened and personally I love the school and all the teachers, they arent like all the other teachers. These teachers actually care and help the student grow as a person. I have struggled with my grades so much, untill i came here the teachers spent time with me helping me. UPA has a lot of extra things aswell like sports and clubs. I had an amazing 6 years at UPA, and ofcourse UPA might not be for everyone but it's truly an amazing school!

We’re going on year 3 at UPA! We absolutely love this school. My son loves his friends and teachers. I’m so so so happy they are opening a high school too! It’s going to be amazing!

This is by far the most amazing school I go to. I like be all the teachers and their extra curricular activities are effective and fun I’m going into middle school and I’m actually very excited for another fun year. I HIGHLY recommend this school I’ve been here for 5 years and still enjoy it!! -Aliviah Johnson
