WELCOME THE THE UTHIVERSE!
Expeditionary Learning in Afterschool
Expeditionary Learning differs from traditional education in that students "engage in 'learning expeditions' rather than sitting through traditional classes.” The Uthiverse is embracing the Expeditionary Learning model to enhance out-of-school time experiences. Our goal is to ensure that students look forward to their after-school and summer activities, viewing them as valuable opportunities rather than obligatory programs.
Socratic Dialogue in Afterschool Time
Socratic discussions are an immensely effective method for enhancing student learning during out-of-school programming, such as the 40-week Infinite Expedition program offered by Uthiverse. By fostering a collaborative environment where students are encouraged to ask probing questions and critically analyze concepts, Socratic discussions promote deeper understanding and engagement with the material.
EVERYONE IS
WELCOME!

Diversity: We celebrate and embrace the diverse backgrounds and experiences of our community. Everything we do is enriched by the variety of perspectives that every individual brings.
Equity: We are committed to providing fair access and removing barriers to success for all. Our focus is on ensuring that every individual receives the support they need to thrive.

Belonging: We strive to foster a sense of connection and engagement for all. We aim to build an environment where everyone feels integrated into our mission and able to contribute their authentic selves.
By embedding these principles into our work, we aim to provide transformative experiences and foster a community where everyone can succeed and feel truly included.
