PRESCHOOL

 Our PreK 4 program introduces children to a variety of written  expression, language immersion skills, shapes, numbers, Biblical  principals as well as introductory phonics. The students are not only  prepared for Kindergarten but develop character building skills along  the journey. 



KINDERGARTEN

The K4-K5 program gives a solid foundation in exceptional reading  skills. With this intensive phonics approach, students are able to begin  reading words very quickly. They learn to recognize each long and short  vowel, all the consonants, read one and two-vowel words, and special  sounds. Students review their phonics as they practice correct cursive  writing formation in the K-5 writing tablets. Number time in  kindergarten emphasizes number recognition and number concepts up to one  hundred. Students learn money value, telling time, number words, and  number sequence. Our K-5 program includes Social Studies, Science,  Drama, Art, Character Training, and a kindergarten graduation program.  Our kindergarten students enjoy a balanced foundation for elementary  school.


Our Kindergarten school programs are Monday through Friday, 8:00 - 2:30

ELEMENTARY

T he A-Beka curriculum is used for first through sixth grades. This  curriculum is designed to provide a Biblically-centered, challenging  academic program for the average and above average child. This  comprehensive program offers Bible, Arithmetic, Language Arts, History,  Science/Health, Spelling, Reading, and Penmanship. A weekly chapel  program adds to our Bible curriculum and allows students to worship  together. Helps classes can be scheduled for struggling students. The  goal is not only to teach mastery of subjects, but also to develop  enthusiastic interest and a strong sense of confidence in each student.

Our Elementary school programs are Monday through Friday, 8:00 - 2:30 

MIDDLE SCHOOL

The Middle School includes students in sixth through eighth grades.  Middle School students at New Life Christian Academy continue building  on the foundation introduced in elementary, as well as, develop new  skills necessary for success in our high school program. Sixth, seventh  and eighth grade students are taught the A-Beka and Prentice Hall  curricula in an enjoyable atmosphere that motivates a desire to learn.  Centered on a traditional university-prep curriculum, this  Biblically-centered curriculum includes the following subjects: Bible,  Language Arts, Math, History, Science/Health, Spanish, and Physical  Education. NLCA's middle school includes changing classes; project based  learning and more prominent field trips. Students also prepare science  projects, research projects, take computer classes, fine arts and  participate in physical education.

Students at this grade level  may participate in sports and club activities. Our objective is for our  students to develop not only academically, but also spiritually,  physically, and socially.

Our Middle School programs are Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM - 3:00 PM 

HIGH SCHOOL & COLLEGE PREP

 Our high school encompasses the 9th through 12th grades. Students are  preparing to attend universities and are taking honors and university  level course work. Students achieve a high level of moral, spiritual and  social development. There is an emphasis on personal responsibility and  leadership and independence is encouraged.

Talented teachers  prepare students with the self-discipline, focus and the personal  determination they need to excel at universities. Our small class sizes  allow students to interact and receive personal attention from the  faculty. High school students are offered honors courses as well as  accelerated math program. The school has a small teacher-student ratio  that ensures students maximize the learning experience and it allow for  more individual attention. The small classroom setting reduces incidents  and enables better classroom management for the instructor. NLCA&PS  follows the North Carolina State requirements for a high school  diploma.

Our High School programs are Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM - 3:00 PM

TECHNOLOGY

 Information technology is a tool that is interwoven through a child’s  learning process at the New Life Christian Academy & Preparatory  School. Technology is not to be used as a crutch, but to enhance  learning. New Life Christian Academy & Preparatory School has a  computer lab and laptops available to students. Other tools, from DVDs  to graphic calculators are used to facilitate the learning process.  Students are taught not just how to use technology, but why and how  technology works. At the New Life Christian Academy & Preparatory  School, technology is not a substitute for critical thinking. Nor is  extensive time spent learning programs that will be quickly obsolete.  Instead, we focus on traditional curriculum and enhance our learning  with technology. 

FINE ARTS

 I Weekly music classes are taught to all students beginning in  kindergarten. Students may join band programs as well as begin  individual lessons  in piano, strings, and drums beginning in  elementary.

COUNSELING

 Applying to universities is a critical point of personal transition, and  we strive to help students through that process beginning with the 9th  grade and culminating with your child attending the University of his or  her choice.

Each year, high school students are taken on campus tours to have a  better understanding of university life and the criteria that must be  met to achieve academic success at an advanced level.

At the New Life Christian Academy & Preparatory School, both  administration and teachers aid in the university counseling process for  students. We advise students on scholarship opportunities and explore  the best opportunities for each student.   . 

DISTANCE LEARNING

For students sixteen years old and above who do not feel that the  classroom is for them, we have a distance learning program.  The program  will allow these students to attend class once a week for tutorials,  and testing.  Students will need to have a working knowledge of  computers and internet usage.

Who are good candidates for distance learning?

  1. Students who are past the traditional high school age but want to complete their education.
  2. Students who have left school previously but would like to return.
  3. Students whose socio/economic status requires that they be employed during traditional school hours.
  4. Students with disabilities that may make sitting in a classroom uncomfortable.
  5. Students who have less than four credits remaining to graduate, but  do not wish to remain in school for an entire year to complete those  credits.
  6. Students who have been dismissed from public/private school for an  extended period of time but would like to complete the current year’s  credits.
  7. Students who are unable to pass high school competency exams that are required for graduation.
  8. Students, who have received certificates of attendance or completion  from high school, but need a high school diploma for work or higher  education purposes.

In order to utilize the distance learning program, students must  have access to a computer with internet capability since some  assignments and assistance can be obtained on-line.  Distance Learning  students must adhere to the school’s dress code and conduct/safety  policy.

Students must be present during required meeting times.  In accordance with North Carolina guidelines, we will use this as a  method of keeping an attendance record on each student.
Students are  required to take test, complete assignments and log on-line when  required for classroom discussions with other distance learning students  and the instructor.  Unless notified otherwise, students will take test  weekly in the school’s testing center.  If students take more than one  course at a time, at least two subjects must be tested weekly.

 Distance learning requires that one be self-motivated and disciplined.   Each student will determine how rapidly he or she completes the program.
