Learning & Living The Gospels

Urban Community School values religious education. The Ursuline Sisters of Cleveland founded the school in 1968. The curriculum is Catholic-inspired with a focus on developing values of peace and justice in children and places a strong emphasis on building tolerance and serving others. The program is inclusive of all children and their religious traditions.

The religious program is largely grounded in Gospel stories. Faculty members build and teach lessons to be inclusive of students who are of multiple faith traditions so that each child has a place in the conversation and develop a sense of pride in their own traditions.
