School Notes
Our History
Burdened to pray for a work of the Gospel in our community,
local pastors Charlie Bridges, Jerry Chitwood, David Harper, and
Jamie Work joined their hearts to wait on the Lord for direction.
Inspired by the leading of the Holy Spirit, a need was seen. Our
community was in need of a Christian school, a Christ centered
educational facility that would seek to minister to the spiritual
and academic needs of Christian parents and students. With the
enthusiastic support of their churches, West Rome Baptist, North
Rome Church of God, Hollywood Baptist and Fellowship Baptist, they
covenanted to birth a Christian school. The vision for a school to
serve the entire community was soon caught by pastors Nim Russell
of Thankful Baptist Church and Phil Wall of the First Assembly of
God. The basis for their unity was belief in the inerrancy of the
Scriptures and essential doctrines of the faith. The dream began to
take form. In 1998 board members were selected from the churches.
Organizational meetings were held and a building was purchased. The
serious process of staff selection, "getting the word out", and the
enrollment of students began. Different from others, this education
would be thoroughly integrated in the Word of God, not secular, not
private for profit, but distinctively Christian. Students would
learn "how to live", and see enrollment as a privilege. Teachers
would perceive their task as a sacred trust.
Our Blessings & Challenges
This is an exciting and historic time forUnity Christian
School. As we move into the middle of our second
decade,we praise God forthe increasing number
offamilieswho are seeking out the type of
Christ-centered education that sets us apart in this
community. At the same time, because ofthis
phenomenalresponse, we are challenged as never before to
maintain our standards of excellence while providing an
increasingly diverse range of academic, artistic and athletic
opportunities to anever-growing number of students.One
of the most exciting developments atUnity is seeing our
graduates successfully transition into college and hearing stories
of how they are impacting the world for Jesus Christ. Having grades
Preschool for3-year-olds through 12th has prompted the
further development for many of our programs, including missions
and athletics. With thisgrowth comes the need for more
specialized classrooms, especially in the areas of science,
technology, art and music. Furthermore, plans are in place to
secure long-term relationships with local organizations for
athletic practice and contests.
Our Vision
In 2005, Unity Christian School made the move into its current
facility on the corner of Highway 53 and the Rome Bypass.
Now, with the help of a professional architectural planning
firm,we are preparing a comprehensive planto further
developthe current upper campus facilities to accommodate
enhanced academic offerings, fine arts experiences, and indoor
athletic team practices and contests. This will address both
the critical needs of today and at the same time, will prepare us
to better meet the anticipated needs of the future. The master plan
will include a multi-phased approach to accomplishing all that
needs to be done to expand our programs. We recognize that
the plan is ambitious and it will require several years to be fully
implemented. Yet, we believe that the ministry of Unity Christian
School is so vital to the youth and families of our community that
we are prepared to see this project through to its completion.
Unity Christian School's tuition is approximately $11,000 for private students.

After having had my oldest child at two different schools (one public and one private) other than Unity and subsequently homeschooling him for 4.5 years, I'm relieved to say that we started at Unity this year with my oldest in middle school and my youngest in Pre-K and could not be happier with the entire place. They offer a rigorous enough curriculum to keep my oldest son challenged. They offer all sorts of sports and activities, enough to ensure there's something for everyone. The teachers are all understanding and caring. I highly recommend this school to any Christian family. Do not be off-put by the admissions application. It comes across as very strict and ominous, in my opinion, but the school environment itself does not reflect the level of rigidity that the admissions application portrays.

I have 2 Unity graduates, who are both flourishing at college, one at Berry College, one at UGA. Unity prepared them well academically as well as with a solid biblical worldview to navigate through life well. The extracurricular activities and sports offered throughout MS and HS provided an amazing opportunity for my teens to safely reach out of their comfort zone as well as excel at something they were really good at. I LOVE my Unity family!

What a great school! This is our third year at Unity Christian School. There is so much joy watching a child grow academically as well as maturing in the Lord. This makes all the effort, time and money spent worth it. Also, the staff is pretty amazing! Your child is treated like family and is nurtured and encouraged daily. The benefits at Unity are far reaching and long term.

We have twin boys who have attended prek3, prek4, and are currently in Kindergarten! Unity has been such a blessing for them. They have always loved going to school everyday. The class sizes are small and the faculty and staff are wonderful. The boys have been learning Spanish and sign language since they started at 3 years old. They love going to chapel and learning more about Jesus every day. My family loves Unity.

Unity is an amazing school! Our students so many opportunities to explore - whether in Fine Arts, Drama, Athletics, Academics, Missions, or Spiritual formation. Unity possesses a caring faculty and staff that nurture and challenge students on a daily basis. The curriculum and academic rigor prepare our students well for their college education as well. I have heard many a professor positively comment on a Unity graduates preparedness for college in their classes along with recent graduates who comment that they are ahead of the game with their college classes.And there are now opportunities for hosting international students! Students from South Korea have been attending Unity for 2 years and its been a great experience.We have had the pleasure of sending our four children to Unity for the past 8 years and could not think of a better place for them to receive their primary education. The school truly partners with parents accommodating all types of learning styles as well. We could not he happierUnity is the only ACSI certified preschool in Rome, GA as well.

I love this school! All of the teachers are amazing and we appreciate them so much - they truly pour their hearts into our children. One of my favorite things is the sense of community. The older kids invest in the younger kids' lives, know their names, and make them feel special. I also love how they teach to the whole person - spiritually, physically, and mentally. They have high standards in education, but have worked one on one with my children as needed. They have PE and sports, and crossfit for kids. And they have lots of art and STEM opportunities, plus amazing technological advances.

Cannot say enough good things about Unity Christian. We have been here over 7 years, have 3 children in the school, and each year that passes I am more and more grateful for the atmosphere and education of UCS. It is like a family, there is such a commitment on the part of the faculty to our kids.. I am particularly grateful as the kids enter middle school and high school, this is where I see the real fruit and difference that this school and education have had not just on my kids but on my whole family. Thankful to be here.

We LOVE Unity Christian School. My 5th grader has been attending Unity since K4 and I couldn't be happier with the quality education she receives from the caring and dedicated teachers at UCS. This school is the very best fit for our family with a safe, supportive environment, small class sizes, great sports and fine arts programs, and a fantastic curriculum. Looking forward to the next 7 years at UCS!
