Urban Christian Academy (UCA) is a faith-based nonprofit whose mission is to offer educational programs to school-age students and their families in Bridgeport, a diverse neighborhood near Chicago's Chinatown.  UCA provides a safe learning environment that promotes and cultivates holistic growth, bringing the light and love of Jesus as we meet academic needs through instruction, tutoring, and mentoring. We seek to serve public school students who need a safe place to further their educational goals and to learn.  By being Jesus' light in the community, we strive to bridge cultural and social gaps between families and schools as we seek the well-being of all of our students.
