UME Preparatory Academy
UME Preparatory Academy (UME Prep) is a new charter school in Duncanville, Texas. It teaches grades K–12 using the University Method of Education
History
UME was established in 2012 by dean, Randy Horton. The plan was to have the school in a generous church called The Verge. In an unexpected turn of events, the building was bought by UME. UME will still allow the church to attend there. Because UME now had ownership of the building, they decided to rebuild the second floor, making room for more classes. During this time, students attended at a temporary location.
The plan was to allow students to start attending The Verge by Christmas, 2012. UME had not gotten the remodeling inspected yet. Students will begin attending at The Verge in the 2013-2014 school year.
Goal
Once students have graduated they will have acquired three things:
1. A strong work ethic.
2. Background in core academic content.
3. Major skills intellectually, life, and career.
