CHRISTIAN UNIFIED

WHERE STUDENTS LEARN AND GROW FOR GOD'S GLORY

Christian Unified Schools of San Diego is a learning community that is passionate and committed to providing excellent academic, artistic, athletic and co-curricular opportunities . . . all built on a foundation grounded on the truth and grace of Jesus Christ.

We look forward to getting to know you, and we encourage you to examine our programs and hear of our joy and excitement to serve your student with the blessings provided by God.

IS CHRISTIAN EDUCATION BEST FOR YOUR STUDENT?

As a parent, one of the most important decisions you can make is choosing where to send your children to school. You want a challenging curriculum in a safe and supportive environment that provides ample opportunities for your student to flourish. These formative years often set the course for the rest of their lives.

As you consider Christian Unified Schools, our prayer is that you not merely peek in the window, but that you give us the opportunity to show you the depth and breadth of all we have to offer your student.

We have been partnering with families to help students learn and grow for His glory since 1965, and it has never been more important than it is today in our current culture and political climate.

Thank you Christian Unified for helping us build a strong Christian foundation for our children. We have been blessed beyond measure throughout the years. As we look to the future, our oldest is entering junior high and our youngest with one more year of elementary, we are so grateful for the opportunity to have our children in a Christian environment. All the exceptional, hard-working teachers, and the entire staff we cannot say enough wonderful things about. The teachers are so welcoming and invest their time to help each child grow in grace and knowledge. Working alongside the office staff during my volunteering years and even now has been absolutely amazing. Thank you for partnering with us in our boy's Christian education since kindergarten and giving them a wonderful experience throughout their early life into adulthood.

Donna Hernandez

This school has been like home to us. We started here 5 years ago and it’s the transition that we were praying for. Having our kids at this school has come with financial sacrifices for us personally, but completely worth it. No school is ever perfect! What sets our school apart from others, is the ability to be in close contact with teachers and staff at all times, having a Christ-centered education and biblical life lessons be the foundation of our school, helps in keeping accountability for all. They offer great programs for elementary, junior high, and senior high. Teachers, staff, and other families have become our family!

Francesca Rodriguez

Christian Unified has blessed our children so much! There is no doubt that Christian was the right place for our family - biblically-based curriculum, strong academics, loving teachers, a safe environment, and God at the center of it all.

I have had the pleasure of experiencing Christian Elementary School, and I must say it surpassed all my expectations. As a parent, I am continually impressed with the school's commitment to providing a nurturing and Christ-centered environment. The faculty and staff at Christian Elementary are the backbone of this outstanding institution. They are not just educators but mentors and role models who genuinely care about each student's growth and well-being. Their dedication to the students' success is evident in every interaction.

Marianna Larson

Christian Unified is an excellent district that has stood the test of time! I have wonderful memories from my time in school there, and now am blessed to be able to send my children. Christian is constantly improving and offering more for our kids, but the one thing that remains unchanged is the devotion to teaching our children to think, live, and learn through a biblical worldview. Thank you Christian Unified for putting God first and teaching His truth!

Megan Krug

IN MEMORY OF OUR FOUNDER

It is with sadness that we share that the co-founder of our school district, Dr. Beverly LaHaye, passed away on Sunday, April 14. She was 94 years old.

Beverly was a faithful follower of Jesus Christ all the days of her life, and God used her in extraordinary ways to make a difference in the world around her. Along with her husband Dr. Tim LaHaye, she worked to establish Christian Unified Schools at a time when Christian education was in its infancy. She had a vision to meet the need for God-honoring curriculum and teachers who modeled Christlikeness to the students in their care, and she worked tirelessly to that end.

In addition to her influence on our school district, Beverly was also the author of many books, the founder of Concerned Women for America, and a beloved mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. She was a faithful and treasured member of Shadow Mountain Community Church, where she was honored recently during the GirlTime women’s event. As the audience stood to applaud, Beverly pointed upward, giving all of the glory to the God she served.
