Extended Day & Saturday Academy

Extended learning opportunities that extend the school day and add instructional time on Saturdays at the Unity Center for Urban Technologies.

Extended Learning

Programs Beyond the Regular School Day

The Unity Center for Urban Technologies offers extended day care options and a Saturday Academy for students and families who want additional instructional time. These programs complement the core academic day and are designed to help students stay on track toward their academic and career goals.

Because the school serves approximately 250 students, faculty, staff, and administration are able to work closely with each student, and that same close attention carries through the extended day and Saturday Academy offerings.
