Cultivating the soil, planting the seed, watering the growth.
Who we are, what we believe, how we keep your child safe, and the people you'll see every morning.
We work alongside you — not instead of you
The New Life Christian Academy's mission is to work alongside you to develop the same biblical principles you're already instilling in your child at home. We're aware it's a struggle to combat the anti-Christian messages the world puts forward, now more than ever. As parents and teachers, the only way we can do it is by regularly instilling the Bible in our students.
No school can guarantee that your child will not experience disappointments, failures, peer struggles, and the normal challenges of childhood. It would be our privilege to partner with you in cultivating the soil, planting the seed, and watering as your child grows up in the "training and instruction of the Lord."
- A safe, loving and Christ-centered learning environment
- A spiritual, academic, and physical foundation for life
- Children equipped to reach their full potential as Ambassadors of Christ
- Life Skills held as a core value of the school
- Godly men and women who will transform the world for Jesus Christ

We take extra measures to make sure your children are safe in our school. Here is what that means in practice.
Secure check-in and check-out
Every child is signed in and signed out by name. Only adults on your authorized pick-up list can take your child home.
Screened staff
Everyone who works with children clears Florida DCF Level 2 background screening — fingerprint-based state and national criminal checks.
Visitors sign in, always
No exceptions, including parents and vendors. If someone is on campus, the office knows who and why.
Clinic and medication
Medication is only administered with a signed form on file. Illness and injuries are reported to you the same day.
Arrival and pick-up
Doors open at 7:30 AM and close at 5:30 PM, so no child is ever waiting unsupervised.
Confidential reporting
Any family or staff member can report a concern directly to leadership, with or without their name attached.
Meet our teachers
Teacher names and photos are being added room by room. In the meantime, every classroom is reachable through the campus directory. Dr. Jenkins: send photos + short bios
