Media release from Unity Christian School:
Unity Christian School (UCS) is proud to announce its official approval as a participating private school for the Georgia Promise Scholarship. Beginning in the fall of 2025, this transformative program will provide up to $6,500 per student annually to cover nonpublic education expenses, including private school tuition.
“We are already hearing from numerous families who intend to use the Georgia Promise Scholarship to enroll their children at UCS this fall,” said Head of School Dr. John Barge. “This scholarship will help parents make the crucial choice for what education delivery model best suits their children.” UCS is currently accepting applications for the 2025-2026 academic year. UCS holds dual accreditation from Cognia and the Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI), making it one of only six schools approved for the Georgia Promise Scholarship with this distinction.
Serving PreK3-12th grade, UCS currently enrolls 369 students from seven counties in Northwest Georgia and Northeast Alabama. “The 2024 average SAT score for Unity students was 1141, the highest among all public and private schools in Floyd County. Superior academic preparation, combined with our highly successful athletic and fine arts programs and our unwavering commitment to integrating a Biblical worldview into education, make a Unity education unique,” said Director of Admissions Michelle Roll. “We anticipate a notable increase in families choosing Unity for their future.” The Georgia Promise Scholarship is open to Georgia residents who attend public school or are entering kindergarten and live in the attendance zone of a “lower-performing school,” as determined by the Governor’s Office of Student Achievement. The preliminary list of area “lower performing schools” includes: Rome Middle, West Central Elementary, Main Elementary, Leroy Massey Elementary, Summerville Middle, Cass High, Rockmart Middle, Van Wert Elementary, and Youngs Grove Elementary. Eligibility is not dependent on household income or prior academic performance. Families qualifying for the scholarship can receive up to $6,500 annually to enroll their child in an approved private school of their choice. The scholarship application period opens on March 1, 2025, and applications can be submitted at www.mygeorgiapromise.org.
