School Founded by Bishop Eddie Long to Close
Atlanta's New Birth Christian Academy students are now scrambling for a new place in which to learn after they were informed that their school will be shut down Jan. 4.
The school, founded by the controversial Bishop Eddie Long, fell short of funding estimates and enrollment for the year. The school board sent a letter to parents informing them of the closing, which will affect 221 students from pre-K to grade 12 and 20 teachers.
"We have operated New Birth Christian Academy for several years with substantial deficits in hopes that the national economic climate would change; however, that change never materialized," said the letter, signed by Carlton Donald, the board's vice chair.
Tuition at the school ranged from $5,253 for New Birth members to $6,198 for nonmembers, according to the school's website.
