The illiteracy rate in Guatemala hovers around 50%. Statistics show that for every eight girls who begin first grade, only one finishes sixth grade.

The New Life Christian School was founded in 1990. It is an integral part of NLCH’s endeavor to “train up a child in the way he should go,” not only for the children who live at NLCH but also for those living in the surrounding community.

Over 400 children are enrolled in the pre-kinder - ninth grade school. The school administration and teaching staff are dedicated to providing a top-flight academic education that includes a curriculum of math, language arts, science, social studies, computer, English and Bible.
