Rooted in Faith.
Committed to Excellence.
For over 50 years, New Life Academy has been serving families in the Bridgeton area with a strong foundation in Christian education. Founded in 1974 by Guy E. Roam as a ministry of New Life St. Louis, NLA continues to be a trusted leader in faith-based academic excellence.
Our students consistently demonstrate strong performance on yearly achievement tests and college entrance exams, reflecting our commitment to quality education.
From Preschool through 8th grade, we follow a traditional classroom model using the A Beka curriculum, emphasizing intensive phonics and foundational learning. In high school, students transition to an individualized, computer-based program that combines Alpha Omega's Ignitia (for English, History, Geography, and electives) with ABeka's proven Math and Science curriculum—preparing students for college, career, and a life of purpose.
The NLA Experience
At New Life Academy, students are challenged to grow academically, socially, and spiritually. Through rigorous coursework, engaging clubs and activities, and Christ-centered teaching, we equip students to impact the world around them as leaders in God’s Kingdom.
