School History
Overview
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.
The St. Bernard`s Academy community welcomes people of all nationalities, interests and ages to be educated, enriched and stimulated by the School`s resources and facilities.
Founded on the north coast of California in 1912, St. Bernard`s Academy provides a safe, Christ-centered, Catholic environment to a diverse population of preschool and 6th through 12th-grade students - in which they may develop their minds with an excellent college preparatory education; their leadership through various activities and sports, and their moral Christian characters, which include compassion, confidence and integrity.
