ABOUT NEW LIFE CHRISTIAN ACADEMY
New Life Christian Academy first opened in 1997. Our desire was to simply change the life of a child otherwise destined to fail because of behavioral or academic shortfalls. Since then the academy has provided a structured yet nurturing academic environment for over 600 students. Many of these students were "at risk" for failure in the traditional school setting.
Many of the students admitted into the academy are no longer permitted to re-enter public schools or other private schools in our community. Others were not excelling academically in their previous schools, for various reasons. Needless to say, the traditional school setting is not meeting the needs of many of these "at risk" youth. Statistics have shown that focusing more on the individual needs of the child increases their chances of achieving academic success and of becoming positive successful members of our community. This can be accomplished by placing these children in a smaller school setting, such as New Life Christian Academy.

History

Senior Administrator's Welcome
Senior Administrator's Welcome
Welcome to New Life Christian Academy & Preparatory School. NLCA&PS is a non-denominational, preschool - 12th grade college preparatory, private school in Cumberland County, located near the Hoke County line.
Now in our 28th year, NLCA&PS seeks to promote academic excellence through a distinctively Christian learning environment. Our mission is to introduce students to Christ and develop Christian character through dynamic and academically challenging programs, preparing them to go out to be Godly leaders who will make a difference for Christ.
I make two promises to parents: First, New Life will strive to challenge students academically to reach their greatest potential in preparation for an ever increasing, globally competitive world. Second, and of utmost importance, we will operate with a Christ-centered emphasis that promotes a Biblical worldview. I believe that is why God has blessed our school with growth, both in numbers and in the spiritual maturity of our students.
A school is evaluated by its faculty, and our faculty is the strength of our school. Their passion for teaching and their love for our students make NLCA&PS an ideal learning environment. NLCA&PS faculty feels privileged to partner with parents to enhance their students’ academic progress. We provide a safe, orderly, and nurturing atmosphere, where students realize their God-given potential that will enable them to impact future generations for Christ.
New Life is a member of Association for Christian Schools International (ACSI) and registered with the North Carolina Department of Non-Public Instruction.
I invite you to explore our website, visit our campus and discover why so many families are making New Life Christian Academy & Preparatory School a priority for their children’s education.
For His Glory,

Why New Life?
Focusing More on the Individual Needs of the Child
The traditional school setting is not meeting the needs of many of our youth. Statistics have shown that focusing more on the individual needs of the child increases their chances of achieving academic success and of becoming positive successful members of our community. This can be accomplished by placing these children in a smaller school setting, such as New Life Christian Academy.
Here at New Life students receive among many other services, instruction from dedicated teachers, tutoring, counselling and intervention, techniques for both students and parents on how to improve and retain lessons learned.
"New Life" graduates have gone on to become teachers, entrepreneurs, military personnel and other productive members of our society. Many students have graduated with honors, some graduated early and several have continued on to obtain academic scholarships to assist with the growing costs of college! A "New Life" indeed!
It is the goal of New Life Christian Academy to meet the academic, as well as, spiritual needs of our students and families.
