Families Together....
Under One Roof!
Life Christian offers a Preschool through
12th grade education on one campus. We are one campus with
one focus - to partner with our families to provide a Christ
centered environment of academic excellence where together
we can develop young students who know and serve Jesus. The
advantages of having everyone together and on the same schedule
are obvious to today's busy families.

International Student Program
In addition to the task force, we reach out to other countries
and host 25 international students in grades 6 - 12 each year
through our International Student Program. We provide an ISP
teacher that supports these students and partners with their
classroom teachers to help them be successful. |

L.I.F.E. (Learning is for Everyone)
In 1996 we started our L.I.F.E. Program (Learning Is For Everyone)
to offer individualized learning programs to students with
dyslexia (problems with language) dysgraphia (fine motor skill
delay) and dyscalcula (problems with math). Our purpose is
to teach "learning skills" to these students, teach
them how to learn with their disability and then transition
them back to the traditional classroom. After one or two years
in the program 85% of LIFE students transition into traditional
classrooms and students
|
had increased their
scholastic performance an average of 2 or more grade levels
- most were even on the honor roll!At the heart of this successful
program is the technology available to aid these students to
compensate for their learning disabilities and to aid them in
their studies.
The real success of this program is restoring the student's
confidence and sense of self worth. L.I.F.E. students are taught
to see themselves as gifted individuals who have a unique and
creative way of meeting life's challenges. As a result, students
enjoy greater social and academic successes. |

Caring Christian Community…
Our teachers enjoy one of the great benefits of a private school
- tremendous parental involvement evidenced by our 45,000 volunteer
hours logged each year. Providing the quality educational experience
we all want for these children is possible only by partnering
together with parents. All families are asked to participate
in school projects throughout the year. There is a volunteer
opportunity that fits everyone's skills, strengths and schedules.

Technology…creating
excitement!
To move from "recall" learning to "critical,
high level thinking" is a process our administration and
faculty has embraced. At Life Christian we believe the use of
technology in the learning process should be in the hands of
teachers and students and in the classrooms.
The continued integrity and success of our school rests on
our commitment to evaluate our curriculum, to insure that
our young people are prepared for the new global community.

Technology Highlights in Lower School…
- With the goal of making technology more accessible, the
Elementary Technology Team has identified an ideally equipped
classroom and written a planned purchase schedule that will
equip each of the 20 elementary classrooms with 2 multimedia
workstations, 5 laptops and 5 desktop word processors over
the next two school years
|
- The purchase of 30 AlphaSmarts further increases accessibility
to technology for our young students.
