Students at Local “Lower Performing Schools” to Get Tuition Paid for at Unity Christian School Due to GeorgiaPromise Scholarship

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 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.

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 YoungsGrove Elementary.

Eligibility is not dependent on household income or prior academic performance.

The scholarship application period opens on March 1, 2025, and applications can be submitted at www.mygeorgiapromise.org.
