The University Park Campus School Institute for Student Success trains small school developers, leaders, and teachers to implement the leadership strategies and instructional techniques that have led to universal college readiness at UPCS.

Since opening in 1997, over 95% of graduates of UPCS- a small grade 7-12 public school in Worcester, Massachusetts- have attended college. Nearly all are first generation college attenders, and over 99% have passed Massachusetts' rigorous graduation exam. The strong academic program and demanding yet nurturing culture have enabled the school to achieve these outstanding results without significant attrition. The school and its innovative partnership with Clark University have been recognized as a national school reform model. 

The UPCS Institute, a project of Jobs for the Future in partnership of with UPCS and Clark University, was created to share the success of UPCS with the broader small schools movement. Supported by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the Institute enables practitioners to visit UPCS, observing its successful model first hand. The Institute hosts leadership and instructional training programs that make the school's methods transparent and replicable.
