What to Expect

Class of 2025 was asked if they would recommend UBC to their classmates and asked What is the best part of the Summer Academy experience?

"Yes I would recommend UBC! Upward Bound Classic has helped me with my work ethic. Such as completing my assignments on time, improving the quality of my work and learning new things while here that help me throughout my school year"

I would most definitely would recommend this program to any high school student. This program showed me if I truly applied myself what I can do.
