Name

In 1921, Fulton Excelsior Christian School came into existence, meeting in the basement of First Christian Reformed Church. In 1953, with a new building on the way, the name was changed to Community Christian School. Unity Christian High School was created August 24, 1981 and combined with the elementary in 1992 to form Unity Christian Schools.

Growth

Over the past three years,[ when? ] Unity began an aggressive campaign to increase student enrollment using primarily Open Houses, Radio Ads, and word of mouth. While student numbers have soared, Unity has also made many improvements to the building including: a Media Center filled with brand new computers, Smartboards in most of the classrooms, a new spacious Art room, and an Academic Support Center.

To help support these improvements, the school board formed a team to research and create a thrift store. This team's work eventually led to the formation of Bargain Bonanza, a non-profit organization that passes its earnings on to Unity Christian Schools.

Unity Christian has recently purchased land in Clinton, IA and has begun construction of a new campus at that location.
