Amazing educational exerience and interpersonal involvement. The special education program far exceeds my expectations and the caring personnel and staff make this an "at home" feel while stressing the need and importance of education, bookwork, respect, and manners. The Principal is amazing, always visible, involved, and readily available to answer any questions or address any concerns any parent may have. The recess and PE programs are wonderful, trying to influence the youth of America today to stay in physical shape is hard and not the norm but Unity East does a great job of incorporating it into the daily schedule as well. Exceptional learning environment, and wonderful staff.

A rural school with a progressive approach to teaching and learning. At Unity East students are challenged to problem-solve and utilize their knowledge in meaningful and practical applications. The faculty recognizes the need for cross-curricular instruction and strives to implement best practices in daily teaching. Gone are the days of "skill, drill, & kill." Teachers work dilligently to meet students at his/her level and differentiate instruction to correlate with each child's unique needs, recognizing each individual's own strengths and weaknessess. Strong leadership is evident as the principal is visible, involved, and connects with each student on a personal level. Teachers are expected to maintain a high level of professionalism and are supported in efforts to participate in regular professional development opportunities- most recently intensive training on identifying and teaching gifted students. For young students, Unity East's kindergarten classrooms and teachers are superior. Your child cannot receive a better start anywhere.
