Building Futures.

United Charter High School for the Humanities II (UCHS HUM II) is a tuition-free public charter high school located at the Jane Addams Campus at 900 Tinton Avenue in the South Bronx. Part of the United Charter High Schools network, UCHS HUM II serves students in grades 9 through 12 with a humanities-focused, college-preparatory education.

The school's educational model is built around critical thinking, civic engagement, and career preparation. As an early college institution, students can earn up to 9 college credits through dual enrollment partnerships with Monroe University and Hostos College before they graduate. AP courses in Literature, Language, and Spanish complement a curriculum that has produced a 91% Seal of Civic Readiness rate and a 91% Seal of Biliteracy rate.

With an ICT co-teaching model that places two teachers in most classrooms, reading intervention built into the school day, office hours four days a week, and Saturday school for Regents prep, UCHS HUM II ensures that every student has the support they need to succeed. Students also have access to STEM programs (Hydroponics, Forensic Science, Data Science), athletics, arts, and a vibrant club life.
