About Us

Did you know 8 in 10 American youth don't attend church but 9 in 10 attend public school? LifeWise Academy (lifewiseacademy.com) is one of three strategies of Stand for Truth (sftministry.org) which exists to reach the unchurched students in America’s public schools with the Gospel.

LifeWise Academy is a released time religious instruction program (RTRI), or as we prefer to call it - a “released time bible education” program, that allows kids to leave public school DURING the school day to receive Bible/gospel education. RTRI is legal if three criteria are met - the gathering is off school property, it’s privately funded and it’s parent permitted.  

Very few people know this is possible.  In fact, most members of our organization hadn't heard of this concept until just a few years ago.  But in reality, RTRI has been around for over 100 years and has been upheld by the supreme court as constitutional. Many states even have by-laws allowing high school students to receive school credit for RTRI classes!

So why don't people know about this amazing opportunity?  Well, that's why we started LifeWise Academy, and we need your help!
