ABOUT UCEDA SCHOOL n n n n
ABOUT UCEDA SCHOOL
Mission
UCEDA School’s mission is to provide English language programs and
services to international and local students. Our main goal is to equip
students with English language skills. UCEDA School achieves its
mission through the implementation of the curriculum and student
services.
History and Philosophy
UCEDA School was founded to bring cultures together and to help
individuals expand their horizons through improving their English
language skills. In 1988, knowing that there was a strong need in their
community for immigrants and international students to have a way
to connect and develop these language skills, Juan J. Uceda, Charo
Uceda and Doris Uceda founded UCEDA School. Since its inception,
our organization has striven to provide every UCEDA student with
effective English instruction, a taste of the American experience and
the opportunity to immerse themselves as deeply as they choose to
in the cultural perspectives of the English-speaking world.
“I learn English better and faster
at UCEDA SCHOOL because
teachers use technology in classes”
Santos, Renata – Sao Paulo, Brazil
UCEDA School encourages students to find their own personal way
into the English language and the culture of the USA. We have a long
list of happy graduates who began their studies at UCEDA School
and have gone on to pursue degrees at recognized universities and
colleges, in many cases expanding their careers with the knowledge
and contacts they developed at our schools.
The staff at UCEDA School is selected by executive directors and the
Uceda family based on their ability to offer the students a quality
classroom experience, insights into their community and region, and
understanding and help with individual needs. We know that in this
fast-moving time, our students must somehow manage to develop
their English skills, get connected with the resources of our major
metropolitan areas, engage with others in their fields of interest and
really become active citizen-participants of the global community
in order to truly get ahead. We want our students to take advantage
of everything the modern world has to offer, and nothing provides
the UCEDA School family with more satisfaction than to see our
students grow and gain access to new opportunities as they utilize
the language skills nurtured at our schools.
With this commitment to the development of each student and the
quality of the services provided, UCEDA School has grown into one
of the largest private ESL school chains in the United States with
schools located throughout the east coast of the U.S. in northern New
Jersey, Pennsylvania, Florida and also in Nevada. We are adding more
schools every year. We welcome students from all over the world Europe, Asia, Latin America and Africa - to come learn together and
partake in the American experience with us.

n n n n WHY UCEDA SCHOOL
WHY UCEDA SCHOOL
1. Leading ESL School since 1988:
6. Test Preparation & College Counseling:
UCEDA School’s expansion to many locations is evidence of its great
achievement. Uceda School is one of the largest private English
language school chains in the United States with more than 13
locations.
UCEDA School’s qualified and experienced teachers prepare students
for the TOEFL iBT and iELTS test which is necessary in order to be
admitted to American colleges or universities. Many of our students
have achieved high TOEFL iBT and iELTS scores and moved on to
study at American colleges and universities. In addition, our teachers
and academic coordinators offer our students guidance and support
in both their search for college degree programs and their application
process as needed.
2. UCEDA School’s ESL Programs are Accredited*:
Our Intensive English Program (IEP) and ESL programs are accredited
by the Commission on English Language Accreditation (CEA). CEA
is recognized and authorized by the U.S. Secretary of Education to
accredit English Language Programs in the USA. CEA endorses the
high quality of UCEDA School’s ESL program. For more information
about UCEDA School’s accredited status, please visit www.ceaaccredit.org.
3. Affordable Tuition Fees & Flexible Schedules:
UCEDA School offers high quality education & services for affordable
prices. Our students receive a great value for the price they are paying
in tuition costs. As our classes run mornings or evenings, Monday
through Thursday. We offer flexible schedules. And through our open
enrollment system, students can be admitted and start their studies
any week in the year.
4. Curriculum, Textbooks & Materials:
UCEDA School’s academic department uses the latest and most
updated ESL materials from Cambridge University Press, whose
textbooks offer a trusted and proven English teaching methodology.
All the testing materials including the placement tests are validated
to ensure every student’s effective evaluation and correct placement
in our program. The textbooks come with self-study DVD-ROMs
including video and skills practice for students. Moreover, UCEDA
School has officially partnered with Cambridge University Press,
which offers UCEDA School teachers the benefit of direct training and
professional development activities.
5. Diploma - Certificate of Completion:
Upon finishing a proficiency tier or level, UCEDA School students
receive a Certificate of American English attesting to their successful
completion of our Basic, Intermediate or Advanced American English
courses. Our students can use these official certificates for work or
academic purposes in their home countries and/or in the USA.
*Accredited status may vary per location.
7. School Locations & Student Activities:
UCEDA School has great locations allowing students to not only
study English, but also experience American culture to the fullest.
The locations are near famous cities such as New York City, Las Vegas,
Miami, etc. and popular attractions such as Disney World, Universal
Studios, Miami Beach, etc. In addition, each school offers fun activities
and excursions giving students the opportunity to make friends from
all over the world, have fun and practice their English skills.
8. Technology Integration in ESL Classes:
UCEDA School strongly believes that technology should be
integrated into the ESL classroom which is why we invest in
computers, computer labs, projectors, cutting-edge software, tablets,
and smartboards. Teachers at UCEDA use the latest technological
tools for their lessons to improve the learning experience for our
students. For example, students use the smartboard to make
interactive presentations on various topics in class. This not only
improves our students’ English language skills, but also develops their
presentation skills for future work and professional situations.
9. Excellent Customer & Student Services:
UCEDA School’s trained staff makes sure that all prospective students
are clearly informed about the comprehensive nature of our program
before their arrival in the USA. In addition, our staff will help and
guide them with their F-1 visa application process every step of the
way until they have safely arrived in the United States. We will even
pick our students up from the airport if needed.
Upon their arrival at the school, new students are personally
welcomed by UCEDA School staff and provided with detailed
information about our program through orientation meetings
to make sure they understand everything related to their studies
and their new lives in the United States. In addition, academic and
personal advising is available to our students at all times during their
studies.

OUR ACADEMIC APPROACH n n n n
OUR ACADEMIC APPROACH
Language is a creative and constantly evolving tool for communication and we believe it is best acquired through a
comprehensive approach focusing on forms, dynamic activities, technology integration, and ample student practice time.
We aim to help every single UCEDA student make progress during their stay – whether it is for just a couple of weeks or for
several months. To help accomplish this we offer:
Certified & Experienced
Teachers:
All UCEDA School teachers are
professionals who have college degrees
and are certified in TESOL (Teaching
English to students of other Languages).
In addition, they have extensive
experience teaching English to students
in a classroom setting. Our teachers’
main goal is their students’ success and
achievement.
Student Reports:
UCEDA School has an online system
that lets students track their progress
throughout their stay. In order to access
their accounts, students merely need to
use their personal email and a password
provided by the school.
Innovative Method:
All our teachers plan student-centered
and fast paced interactive lessons to
ensure that students are motivated to
learn.
In conjunction with this, UCEDA School’s
gentle but firm English Only policy
does more than help our teachers build
a student’s confidence in his or her
ability to ask questions about the lesson
in English. It also helps our students
participate in laying the groundwork for
their own fluency in all four aspects of
the target language: listening, speaking,
reading, and writing.
Regular Individual Feedback
and Testing:
Students are evaluated weekly and at
the end of the term they take an in-class
progress test and have a one-to-one
feedback meeting with their teacher.
These first two metrics allow teachers
to carefully monitor each student’s
progress and provide feedback tailored
to each learner’s unique needs.
At the end of each level students have
the option of taking an End of Tier Test
and getting a certificate as long as they
have fulfilled the level’s requirements.
Modern Facilities and Customized Software for Our
Instructional Materials:
At UCEDA School, we are committed to offering the latest learning facilities to help our
students enjoy their lessons and make progress. All our locations offer free Wi-Fi and have
interactive whiteboards in most or all classrooms.
