Admissions
Thank you for your interest in Unity Christian School!
Unity Christian is a multi-denominational school that seeks to partner with Christian families to nurture students' God-given potential as they humbly serve God's world. Our school's tagline,LEARNING and LIVING in CHRIST, is something we strive to embody in all aspects of our school life.
At Unity Christian School, we deeply believe in the crucial role of parents in their children's education. We see ourselves as partners with you, working together to raise and educate your child. We also recognize the significant influence of the Church in a child's faith formation. Our faith is rooted in the belief that the Bible is the infallible word of God, that Jesus died on the cross for our sins and rose from the dead, and that God is sovereign over every square inch of the world.

The admissions deadline for September entry is June 1st each year. We strongly encourage families to submit their applications well before this date. Applications received after June 1st are considered "late applications." Late applications may prevent us from completing the admissions process in time for the start of school in September.
Please be aware that most members of our Admissions Team are unavailable during the summer months, specifically in July and August. If you submit an inquiry or application during this time, it will not be reviewed until late summer. This may significantly delay the admissions process and your child's start date.
If you have any questions about the admissions process, please contact our Admissions Office at 604-794-7797 or send us an email.
