New Life Christian School is an exciting first for our community. In January 1998 several local pastors began praying about a new Christian school for the area.
They felt God leading them to combine two excellent existing Christian schools; North Coast Community Christian School and Christian Life School.
The result was New Life Christian School, a non-denominational community Christian school overseen by an alliance of co-operating pastors from local evangelical churches.
New Life Christian School offers classes for for Preschool through grade twelve.
Classes are small and individual teachers are qualified for their positions and are prayerfully and carefully selected.
Stanford Achievement Tests are administered in the Spring of each year.
In general students perform very well in comparison to the national norms.
Our mission is to work with the home and church to provide a Christ-centered spiritual, academic, and physical foundation in a safe, nurturing environment to produce godly men and women who are a transforming influence in their world.
