BE UNUSUALLY BRAVE
As a Lift School we choose to be unusually brave. We're not afraid to challenge wrongs, to make the right call, even when it's both unusual and difficult to do so.
DISCOVER WHAT'S POSSIBLE
We are on the search for discovering what's possible. At Unity City Academy we look to create 'eureka moments' for our students, helping them discover a world of possibilities and opportunities.

At Unity City Academy we commit to being big-hearted. We choose to treat each other with kindness, warmth and care, believing that everybody matters and believing in one another.
