LIFE Program

Dear Families,

At Life Christian Academy, we believe that Learning Is For Everyone. That belief is at the heart of our LIFE Program.

The LIFE Program is designed to support students with learning challenges by providing a nurturing and responsive academic environment. Through nontraditional methods of instruction, multi-age classrooms, and low student-to-teacher ratios, we create the space for students to thrive. Each classroom integrates the Life Christian Academy curriculum and is led by trained learning specialists who tailor instruction to meet the unique needs of every learner.

In the Elementary LIFE classroom, our focus is on building foundational skills in reading, writing, and mathematics. Students progress at their own pace, and as they demonstrate grade-level competencies and independent use of compensatory strategies, they may be mainstreamed into traditional classrooms.

The Upper School LIFE Program provides individualized instruction in English (grades 6–11) and Math (up through high school geometry). Students engage with the same core concepts taught in traditional settings, but with additional support and adaptations. High school students in the LIFE Program are expected to meet the same graduation requirements as their peers, utilizing the kinds of accommodations commonly allowed at the college level.

Admission to the LIFE Program begins with the application process for Life Christian Academy. All prospective students are screened to determine their cognitive abilities and identify the level of support needed for success within our program.

If you have questions or would like more information about the LIFE Program, I would be honored to speak with you. Please do not hesitate to contact me directly.

With gratitude,
Debbie Anderson
Director of the LIFE Program
