Our History
From 47 students in a single building to a thriving PreK–12 community, a story of faith, growth, and God’s provision.
In 1998, the pastors of West Rome Baptist, North Rome Church of God, Hollywood Baptist, and Fellowship Baptist Church united in a shared vision to establish a Christian school in Rome, GA. The founding pastors prayerfully laid a foundation for a partnership with Christian parents in addressing the academic and spiritual needs of their children. Soon after, the pastors of Thankful Baptist Church and the First Assembly of God joined the founding pastors, further establishing a provisional board of trustees.
Unity Christian School opened in 1998 with 47 students studying in K4 to 5th grade. With the purchase of the former Battey Machinery building, located on the corner of Highway 53 and the Rome Bypass, Unity was able to offer a high school program. Unity began to grow quickly in this new location as a beacon for Christian education in the Rome community. The school became known for its commitment to Biblical worldview integration throughout its curriculum and was lauded by accreditors as performing among the nation’s top ten percent in this area.
Today, Unity Christian School is a private, coeducational, college preparatory school that serves more than 360 students in grades Pre-K3 to 12. Unity students come from seven surrounding counties and represent more than 85 area church congregations. As enrollment continues to grow, the school is embarking upon three Strategic Objectives to promote a vibrant school community and establish an Advancement Department that will help provide a facility capable of comprehensive learning experiences for all age groups. With the support of parents, generous private donors, and financial partners, the school has successfully provided additional scholarships for students, advancements in technology, and growth opportunities for athletics and the fine arts.
