New Lifehouse AcademyTHE AFFORDABLE ACADEMY FOR TROUBLED TEENAGE GIRLS
Lighting the Way to a Future of Hope, Purpose, and Fulfillment
New Lifehouse Academy is a year-round, affordable boarding school created to help girls ages 14–17 find a new direction and experience lasting change. At its core, the program is designed to meet young women where they are and guide them forward with clarity, structure, and genuine care. Students are surrounded by consistent mentorship, strong expectations, and a supportive environment that helps them rebuild confidence, develop self-discipline, and rediscover a sense of purpose.
Through a proven, faith-centered approach, girls learn to identify the patterns and choices that have held them back and begin replacing them with healthier thinking and positive habits. Each day is intentionally structured to include academics, life skills development, physical activity, and meaningful personal growth. With a purposely strong sports and recreation programs, girls stay engaged while learning teamwork, perseverance, and responsibility. Over time, the girls begin to show real progress not just in behavior, but in attitude, relationships, and outlook on life.
New Lifehouse Academy works with girls facing behavioral, emotional, or academic challenges, offering a clear path forward built on accountability, encouragement, and transformation. The goal is not just short-term improvement, but helping each student build a strong foundation for a healthier future, renewed family relationships, and lasting personal growth.
Our mission is to empower teenage girls and their families with the tools, structure, and support needed to thrive academically, relationally, and spiritually. Through a thoughtfully crafted program that blends mentorship, education, athletics, recreation, and faith-based guidance, we help girls who once felt lost rediscover their potential. At New Lifehouse Academy, young women grow into confident, self-reliant individuals, equipped with the skills and character to live fulfilling, purpose-driven lives and succeed long after they leave our care.

IS YOUR DAUGHTER’S LIFE IN A DOWNWARD SPIRAL?
When you begin to see signs that your daughter is heading down a destructive path, it is critical to act quickly. Early intervention—whether through counseling or, when necessary, placement at a structured program like New Lifehouse Academy—can make all the difference between a temporary struggle and a lasting crisis. Waiting too long often closes doors to easier solutions, making more intensive intervention unavoidable. If you are at the point where you know something must change, we are here to help you evaluate the situation and take immediate steps to get your daughter the life-changing support she needs before it is too late.
The program works on a level system. Each level consists of a particular length of time, and each level has different requirements the student will need to fulfill before eligibility to advance to the next level.
Upon entry into the program, each student is assigned an advisor to provide individual one-on-one guidance and mentoring determined by that student’s particular needs. The proven cure for life-controlling problems is based on the embracing of Biblical principles to spiritually improve the quality of her character. Students also meet with the Life Skills Counselor to work through the student’s individual issues through personal learning contracts throughout the duration of the program, as well as in group sessions during the week. The Program Manager oversees each student’s overall needs and works with family, student, and staff to see that restoration is brought to both the student and family.
After 4 weeks in the program, the student will be allowed two ten-minute phone calls, and one twenty- minute phone call each week (days for calls are assigned upon admission into the program). A student will only be allowed to receive from persons on her phone and mail authorization list based on her current level privileges. Phone/mail usage is a privilege and will be monitored by Staff. Students are allowed mail upon entry into the program according to level privileges and authorization list.
Students are allowed a monthly pass. The time of that pass is dependent upon the student’s current level in the program.
Each student is assigned an advisor upon entering the program. All inquiries relating to the student will be handled by her advisor. If you have an immediate question concerning your student, feel free to contact our main office during normal business hours.
Absolutely! And she can get caught up and retake some courses to get a better grade. The students who daily and year-round attend our privately accredited school, Cross Christian Academy, also participate in both personal and group Studies for a New Life. The thoughtful curriculum helps to establish a foundation of biblical knowledge leading to spiritual growth. The faith- structured classes also develop the a major goal of the program: a life-changing, continually growing personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
