UNIVERSITY CHRISTIAN HIGH SCHOOL offers an advanced curriculum in partnership with Lenoir-Rhyne University. The school's location on the LRU campus allows students to use the University's athletic facilities, cafeteria, library, and classrooms. Students have the opportunity to take advanced classes as freshmen and sophomores on the high school campus. As juniors and seniors, they have the opportunity to take Lenoir-Rhyne classes that count as both high school and college credit at no additional cost to the students. With up to thirty credit hours available to students, UCHS provides financial relief for post-secondary education.
