EFA and New Life Christian Academy
New Life Christian Academy was on the state's list of EFA participating schools for 2024-25. 123 of its roughly 220 students (56%) paid with an Education Freedom Account that year.
That ranks #15 of 40 participating schools in Pulaski and Saline counties by number of EFA students. Its EFA share is above the local average of 48% across those schools.
Of those EFA students, 93% continued in the program the next school year and 93% stayed at New Life Christian Academy. Statewide, schools kept 84% of their EFA students on average. Students who graduated count as leaving.
Paying the balance
Church schools often offer member, sibling and staff discounts. Ask whether they still apply when part of the bill is paid from an EFA, and which fees (books, uniforms, technology) the school invoices through ClassWallet.

Questions to ask the school
- How do you bill EFA families: directly through ClassWallet each quarter, or do we pay and get reimbursed?
- What is the full cost for my child's grade, including registration, books, uniforms and fees, and what's left after the $7,208 account?
- Which discounts and aid apply on top of the account?
- Which nationally norm-referenced test do you give, and will you share my child's results?
