Unity Christian

Unity Christian School has been blessed with increased enrollment, new additions to class offerings and the athletic program, along with opportunities for students to grow in their faith.

Class sizes have continued to grow each year, and that has allowed for new classes to be offered at the junior and senior high levels. Our eighth-grade students have the opportunity to take Explore, which is a class that incorporates a lot of hands-on activities along with practical life skills. Mrs. Behr, the Explore class teacher, develops units that allow for discovery learning and student interaction. Robotics, woodworking, and life skills are just a few of the units that students enjoy, all while deepening their faith through interactions and discovery. At the high school level, more math classes have been offered in order to fill the needs of students going into STEM careers. Statistics and High Math Concepts along with Precalculus and Calculus allow for students to sharpen their minds as well as focus on specific skills that will benefit them in future engineering, accounting, and statistician careers. Unity is already looking at new classes to offer for the coming school year, which may include advanced placement classes!

Growth is also being seen in Unity’s athletic program. For the first time in its 100-year history, Unity Christian School had a girls soccer team in the spring of 2022. Junior high and high school girls combined to participate in this sport and enjoyed not only the competition but also the fellowship that came with each game. Likewise, the fall of 2022 brought back 11-man soccer for the junior high and high school boys. Both teams had great winning seasons led by coaches Christina Bell and Tom Catlin. We are excited for the opportunities in the future for both programs! Along with fall soccer, our high school volleyball team saw a full roster after struggling to fill a team previously. Besides four seniors leading the way, the incoming freshmen were outstanding, helping the team to find its groove, work together, and play for the One. They ended their conference season undefeated and winning the conference tournament.

While excitement always follows these new additions, expansions, and success, we are reminded of our mission at Unity: to teach Truth. Throughout our academic and athletic programs, our students are not only developing physical skills but also spiritual maturity in order to reflect Christ and bring glory and honor to Him. n Faith Christian’s girls soccer team ended its conference season undefeated and won the conference tournament.
