Growing LifeLeaders All Summer
Developing LifeLeaders Through Extracurricular Excellence
One way Life School helps students hone their LifeLeader attributes is through activities beyond the classroom. Life School offers a wide range of extracurriculars, including athletics, music, art, theatre, cheer, and dance. By participating, students become collaborative teammates, problem-solvers who refine their skills, and goal-oriented competitors striving to win.
Parents also play a vital role in the success of these programs by ensuring students arrive to school early, stay late for practice, and receive support at competitions. By partnering together, Life School students are achieving remarkable success both in and out of the classroom.
