LifeLeader School Rules - Growing Leaders of Character LifeLeader School Rules - Growing Leaders of Character

In order to help students grow as leaders with strong character, Life School introduced three LifeLeader School Rules this year. The rules are simple, easy to understand, and address all issues globally.

  • Citizenship - Be Responsible & Respectful

  • Self-Managed - Make Good Choices

  • Effective Communicator - Be Positive and Kind


We invite you to partner with us by asking your child how they are demonstrating these school rules both at school and at home.

LifeLeader Partnership Agreement - Information Literacy LifeLeader Partnership Agreement - Information Literacy

At Life School, our commitment to Information Literacy means we will efficiently and accurately locate, evaluate, utilize and communicate information to achieve a goal.

Our LifeLeader Partnership Agreement encourages families to practice information literacy by actively engaging with campus and classroom communications and by regularly reviewing student grades and attendance in Parent Portal. Staying informed in these ways helps us work together to develop LifeLeaders. If you have not already signed up for Parent Portal, you can sign up here.

Paving the Way for College Success: Information Literacy and Financial Literacy Paving the Way for College Success: Information Literacy and Financial Literacy

Preparing for college might seem like a distant goal for some, but it is right around the corner for many. Understanding college readiness encompasses academics, extracurricular involvement, and especially, financial planning. Our school offers a wealth of resources to support your family, including counseling services, workshops, and information on post-graduation options, FAFSA, and scholarships.

If you have a secondary college-bound student, we encourage you to explore the Life School Counseling Resources compiled by our school counseling departments. Here you will find a scholarship and financial aid resource list that will empower you with the knowledge to support your child's journey toward higher education. Your involvement as an equal partner in their learning journey is invaluable.

Stronger Attendance, Stronger Students Stronger Attendance, Stronger Students

Thank you to our parents for encouraging students to attend school regularly. Research shows consistent attendance is directly linked to improved academic performance, enhanced social development, and improved mental health. For example:

  • For elementary students, missing just two days per month can lead to lower performance in literacy and math.

  • For secondary students, a Johns Hopkins University study found that attendance is a stronger predictor of graduation rates than test scores.


Thanks to your dedication, the student attendance average is over 95% for the current school year! We are seeing a strong attendance rate at all of our campuses thanks to your continued commitment to supporting student success.
