New Generation School

What New Generation School does

New Generation Christian School is a private K-12 Christian school operating from a single campus at 608 SW Marvin Burnett Rd in Lake City, Florida. Founded in 2004 by Dr. Paula Gorman, a Doctor of Educational Psychology, the school began with one teacher and twelve students in grades 6-12 and has grown to over 350 students ranging from Kindergarten through 12th grade. Its enrollment draws primarily from Columbia County, FL, with secondary regional pull from Suwanee, Alachua, and South Florida counties, with some families reportedly relocating across the state to attend. The school is operated under the dba names New Generation Christian School, New Generation Academy, and New Generation School, with no disclosed parent company, ownership group, or institutional investors.

The school's product portfolio consists of three core programs — Elementary (K-6), Middle & High School (6-12), and a specialized NeuroDiverse Program serving students with autism and other neurological differences via 1-4 student intensive classrooms, up-to-8-student mid-sized groups, and sensory-friendly spaces — supplemented by before/after school care and extracurricular programs. Its pedagogy is a proprietary brain-based methodology developed by the founder, using research-based curricula in math, reading, and language arts, scheduled movement/brain breaks, mastery-based progression (no retention), and universal intake screening for language disorders with Speech and Language Pathologist services where indicated. A weekly "Practical Life" curriculum delivers Biblical instruction alongside life skills such as resume writing, checkbook balancing, and conflict resolution.

Revenue is generated through recurring tuition (K-12 and NeuroDiverse programs, billed annually) plus ancillary before/after care and extracurricular fees (billed monthly), with pricing not publicly disclosed and quote-based on inquiry. The go-to-market is direct-to-parent: families initiate contact via phone, email, or website inquiry, attend a guided school tour, observe a classroom, and submit an application. Marketing is restricted to the school's own website, Open House events, and organic word-of-mouth — no paid advertising, social media presence, or PR activity is documented.
