The school first came into being from a vision revealed by the Lord to Rev. Dr. William G. Sy, the incumbent founding President. These visions identical to each other came to him three times in succession in one sitting. On a morning of February 1992, he saw magnificent colorful broken glasses in glittering disarray coming from four directions flying all over and zooming in. Then, they arranged themselves on the table taking the form of textbooks of different colors, design and sizes stacked either lying down or standing right side up. Becoming excited, Dr. Sy at first took it to mean as establishing a Bible School. After having shared it with the congregation, he started organizing a teaching staff of formally trained Pastors to train laymen into the ministry.
For two terms, the training center had lasted; the first one in 1992 followed by the second and last batch in 1994. Since then, until the earlier part of 1997, the Bible school did not come to fruition. It was only sometime in March 1997 that a definite revelation from God became clearer to him that God was bidding him to establish an academic school.
With renewed excitement, Dr. Sy shared it again with the congregation on April 27, 1997. He put up the first seed of faith of One Hundred Thousand Pesos (Php 100,000.00) on May 25 of the same year. Alongside it, he started engaging professional services of the people concerned from the Consultant to the Principal down to the entire teaching staff of ten faculty members.

United Cristian Academy
The school that the Lord has built
That makes us children of the light
The salt of the whole earth
His love is ever upon us all
Inspiring us to give
Our best to our parents and to the world
But most of all to the Lord our God
In United Christian Academy
We have learned the meaning of life
To give back all praises to the Lord our God
And He will make things right
