The use of Houses in schools dates back hundreds of years to when English boarding schools
sought ways to give students a family away from home. Today, Classical Christian schools
nationwide adopt the House System as a way to promote camaraderie, inspire competition, and
strengthen culture. At Unity Christian Academy, we invite you to be a part of this rich tradition as
we implement the House System, fostering a sense of family and unity among our students!
