School Year Calendar
2025-2026 School Year
Uchenna Academy education will continue to be characterized by the principles that have come to define it: academic and athletic rigour, intellectual stimulation, community collaboration and discovery.
SCHOOL SCHEDULE:
In 2025-2026 school year, we are continuing our TRIMESTER SCHEDULE MODEL.
The trimester model is closely aligned with our Advanced Placement (AP) curriculum, which culminates with final examinations during the first 2 weeks of May every school year. The earlier school year start date allows our student-athletes additional training time to prepare for competitions, which start late September every year.
