Vision

We expect students who graduate from UCLA Community School to enter the adult world as confident and capable human beings, prepared to succeed in college, pursue meaningful careers, and participate in our democracy. The adults that support these students will know them well and ensure that each engages in scholarship that is challenging and relevant to their lives.
