Developing the whole child
At New Life Academy, we want to see middle schoolers do more than just thrive in the classroom. As this is a season of significant identity development, spiritual and character growth are equally important. We accomplish these goals through:


Intentional Teachers
Our teachers build confidence in students by showing them that they are valued as individuals. They not only teach but also mentor — guiding students through academic, social, and spiritual challenges as needed.
Community Groups
Students are assigned a same-gender, same-grade small group with a dedicated advisor. Groups meet weekly for relationship-building and life skills training. Students explore different topics in a safe environment that helps prepare them for the next stage of life and introduces them to new interests.


Character Emphasis
Weekly chapels, Bible classes, and character education help students make wise decisions and become good citizens — not only of their school community but also of God’s kingdom.
Learning That Inspires Creativity
At New Life Academy, we encourage students to explore new ideas, think critically, and use creativity to solve problems. Whether in the classroom, on the stage, on the field, or through elective opportunities, students are inspired to pursue their passions and discover innovative ways to grow.


Your middle schooler’s environment matters.
“What I love about New Life Academy is the community and strong relationships you are able to build here. I’ve met so many great friends, and the teachers truly care about each student beyond just our assignments.”

Making Faith Their Own

These opportunities help them build skills, discover talents, and form lasting friendships through shared passions.
Christ-Centered Athletics

With over 40 teams across 13 sports, students grow in teamwork, sportsmanship, and perseverance. Win or lose, they learn to glorify Christ through healthy competition. Middle school athletes can join no-cut teams, build grit, and, for those ready to take the next step, even compete on high school teams

Student safety is a top priority. Our secure campus and welcoming environment give parents peace of mind, while clear expectations, consistent boundaries, and trusted adults create a sense of social and emotional safety.

LEARN ABOUT CAMPUS SAFETY
Middle school students need to feel a sense of belonging, safety, and community. Our campus is set up to make students feel at home and provides daily opportunities to connect with teachers, staff, and other students. Middle schoolers love our coffee shop, a la carte snack options, and common areas designed for quality time. With all grades on one campus, they get to serve as role models to younger students and get a preview of what’s ahead in Upper School.
