University Assisted Community Schools at Pond Gap and Inskip are Knox County Community Schools that address student and familial needs by providing health, mental health and dental services, basic needs, and other supports that increase opportunities for successful education outcomes and better lives for our students now and in the future. UACS will provide a free, robust, personalized learning environment for each pupil our program serves from the end of the school day to 7pm five days a week that will enable and support academic success and eventual college and career readiness. UACS will employ community intervention strategies some new, and some continuing, enhancing our current efforts, and all aligned with our strategic plan to create systemic and lasting improvement in the communities we serve.
“We are a one-stop shop… Come to the school, and we’re going to find it for you – whatever you need.”
