Want Your Child to Live Out Their Faith at School?
What Is LifeWise Academy?
What if students could learn character qualities like honesty, respect, responsibility, kindness, and perseverance while also discovering the biblical principles behind them?
Public school students can receive Bible instruction during the school day through a model known as released-time religious instruction. Participation is voluntary, requires parental permission, and instruction takes place off school property.
One organization making this possible in communities across the country is LifeWise Academy.
How Can Bible Classes Happen During the School Day?
LifeWise Academy provides Bible education for public school students during the school day. Students leave school for a portion of the day to attend Bible classes at an off-campus location and then return to school.
The program combines Bible teaching with character education, helping students explore virtues and life lessons from a biblical perspective.

How Is This Different From Traditional Character Education?
Released-time religious instruction has existed in the United States for decades. Under this model, students may be released from public school for religious instruction when the program follows applicable legal requirements, including being held off school property and not being funded by the public school.
Students participate only with parental permission.
Could LifeWise Come to My Community?
Traditional character education can teach important qualities such as honesty, responsibility, respect, compassion, and citizenship.
Bible-based character education goes a step further by exploring why those qualities matter from a biblical perspective and connecting them to Scripture and the life and teachings of Jesus.
