Welcome to the UCDS Institute

The Institute is designed to advance our innovative educational model. We’re dedicated to transforming the face of education through a range of professional development programs and partnerships. We’re committed to helping educators grow in their careers and to inspire future teacher leaders.

A New Kind of Graduate Experience

The UCDS College for School Culture is a graduate program designed to transform education. The program flips the model of lab school thinking. Rather than place an elementary program within the walls of an adult-focused university; we’re bringing a graduate program inside our child-centered school. Students enrolled in the UCDS College for School Culture, Master of Education program gain the knowledge and strategies essential to becoming leaders in education.
