With more than 20 College Board AP courses and dual enrollment options, UEA combines the best curriculum from our educational partners with the most recent, research-based courses of study in each content area to deliver a challenging, full-time curriculum to our students. UEA’s upper school students succeed in a rigorous, college preparatory curriculum with the benefit of one-to-one instruction by UEA’s talented, highly qualified teaching team.
Through UEA's partnership with Post University in Waterbury, CT, UEA teachers receive qualification as adjunct faculty to teach Post University courses to UEA students, in-person and online. Our students also take for-credit courses from Cornell University in order to explore areas of interest and develop depth of study. UEA’s tailored approach to curriculum design augments admissions success.
At UEA, the college consulting process starts in the ninth grade. UEA graduates earn admission to Ivies and other competitive institutions. Our graduates are National Honor Society members, National Merit Finalists, and AP Scholars with Distinction. UEA’s proven approach allows students to maximize their success in both academic and athletic pursuits.
For students on-location in Wellington or Ocala, UEA’s teachers instruct curriculum for each class in small groups from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. Core classes in math, language arts, science, and social studies are held until noon, and students have lunch and free time between noon and 1:00p.m. Elective classes, including foreign language, take place between 1:00p.m and 2:00 p.m.
Students seeking a completely customized schedule have access to UEA’s curriculum and outstanding teachers with virtual or hybrid options.

“I had never really been a big fan of school. Back in traditional school I always dreaded going into school. Now that I work with Upper Echelon, learning is actually fun. I love all my tutors and enjoy going to school.”
