A Short History of New Direction Christian Academy
A Short History of New Direction Christian Academy
In 2006, shortly after relocating to Georgia from Tampa, Florida, New Direction Christian
Academy’s owner, Ms. Bull, decided to start a school. After praying about her endeavor for
a period of time, the Lord directed Ms. Bull to Proverbs 3:5-6, "Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths." Thus, came the name:
New Direction Christian Academy. Consequently, Ms. Bull discovered a dilapidated building which used to
be a mechanic shop, located at 114 Parker Street in Statesboro, Georgia. The building was immediately
renovated and turned into a Christian School. The school started out with three siblings from the
surrounding neighborhood, and to date, has served over 565 under-served students. New Direction
Christian Academy focuses on the spiritual, educational, and social development of our students.
Every child counts. Every child is important. Every child will become a contributing member of
our society in a positive way.
