About
LifeWise Academy offers Bible-based character classes, Bible education, and Bible class for public school students. The program provides Bible education to public school students during school hours and must be held off site of school premises. Teaching the Bible during the public school day through LifeWise Academy follows three conditions: the program is held off school premises, no government funds are used, and parental permission is required for a child’s participation. LifeWise gives parents a fully legal way to bring Bible-based character classes into their child’s weekly public school routine, without any extra scheduling.
