Maybe give some free advice about: Work/School Relationships?
Well you are like me. You just need to get out of your shell. In order for ppl to become your friend, they've gotta know you. I'm not saying to run around and do something crazy, but just be yourself. If you see a group of ppl talking about something just drop in and be like "Oh wow! thats sooo weird, it reminds me of that one time....etc" or if you see ppl having fun, dancing, playing a game, just ask if you can join. Or even if you do stay in your shell, i'm sure within a couple of weeks people will start comming up to you and talking. You could always just say you're really shy too.

Okay, there are NO clubs, NO sports, WHAT ARE YOUR PARENTS THINKING??
and you went to your last school for 13 years, how many times did you fail? From what I know, there are only 12 years of school besides Kindegarten, and Pre-k
So unless your a senior, with that info, you must've failed.
Well, during class, ask somebody you sit next to about an assignment, or ask some people about their schedule, and if you have classes with them, ask if you can walk with them for the 1st few days.
Me and my friends usually feel bad because the new kids don't know their way, so we'll give them a week to see how much we like 'em, and after a week, if we don't really like 'em that much, we'll introduce them to a bunch of others. Maybe others at your school, since it's a christian school, will be nice to you.
If there are any clubs whatsoever, JOIN, even if you don't like it that much, you can always stop showing up.

Moving is a hard thing to do and everyone adjust differently to this big change. It can be hard to find new friends when you have made so many close bonds with people, and are going into a new environment where " everyone knows each other."
I congradulate you on wanting to get to know new pople and make new friendships. The first step to adjusting in a new environment is making allies.
Here are a few ways on opening up to people:
1.) Find common intrests with people. If you hear someone listening to your favourite band, or reading your favourite book this is a perfect oppurtunity for you to strike up a conversation.
2.) The easiest topic to talk about is school. Ask someone how their homework assignment is coming along, or share your views on "how hard that last test was. Chances are, the person you are talking to will agree.
3.) Join a club or a team. Joining a club or sports team is a great way to meet new people and to get yourself known around the school. You will form close connections with other club members.
4.) Try some humour- A joke about something, or a funny situation is a great way to break the ice.
The final and most important thing I can tell you is : DON'T BE SHY.
Taking an active role, and speaking up for yourself will open many doors for you.
Good Luck

I'd try joining a group. Band, Football, Chess, anything like that. Being in the group will give you some common ground, and it'll be easier to talk to people once you get started.
