School Overview

UCP Pine Hills Charter is a specialized educational facility located in Orlando, Florida, operating under the umbrella of the University of Central Florida (UCP) network. The school is distinct for its inclusive "multi-ability" model, which integrates students with and without disabilities into the same classrooms. By providing a blend of rigorous academics, early intervention therapies, and developmental support, the school aims to create an environment where children of all developmental levels can learn side-by-side, fostering both academic growth and social-emotional development.

Affiliated with the Orange County Public Schools (OCPS) system, the charter school focuses on a holistic approach to early childhood and elementary education. The campus is designed to provide high-quality support services—such as physical, occupational, and speech therapy—directly within the school setting, minimizing the need for students to seek outside clinical care. Through this integrated structure, UCP Pine Hills strives to prepare every student for future academic success while promoting a culture of empathy, acceptance, and community inclusion.
