UES teachers are dedicated, expert professionals with many years of experience working with children. Our school library has over 18,000 volumes and is staffed by expert librarians. The library is open to students and parents every school day, both before and during class. Our instructional program is designed to respond to the talents and needs of every child. We offer a broad curriculum through which children develop basic skills in a way that is relevant to their own experiences and interests.
Technology is integrated into the daily program as a tool to enhance the children's learning.
Our students are encouraged to become independent and creative thinkers who can communicate their ideas and understanding clearly and effectively. Children at UES learn to work together, to appreciate who they are as individuals, and to value each others' diversity. Above all, we want our students to love learning. Spanish-speaking students have the opportunity to develop proficiency and literacy skills in Spanish while also learning English and being taught in English. UES emphasizes the importance of understanding and respecting the many cultural heritages that make up Los Angeles.
