Congratulations, Class of 2024!
Graduation ceremonies celebrate the pinnacle of a student’s educational career. At Life School, we celebrate this milestone not as a finish line but rather as a launching pad for our students’ future success.
We can’t wait to see what the future holds for you!
Life School 25th Celebration Recap
Life School celebrated 25 years of history with nearly 250 guests on April 18th. It was a festive evening honoring parent volunteers, teachers, alumni, community partners, and school founders. Prior to the evening’s program, guests were treated to an art gallery showcase along with the musical talents of students from both high schools. During dinner, more students served the meal to those attending. We're thankful for our Life School friends and families who joined us to celebrate a quarter-century of serving students in our communities. Check out the Life School Facebook Page to see pictures from the event. Additionally, a video of the plans for the new Life High School campus was unveiled at the event. Click here to view.
Join the Life School Team
We had an exceptional turnout for our most recent Career Fair. Many were experienced teachers who are interested in joining the Life School family. We are still hiring for the 2024-2025 school year. If you want to join a team of forward-thinking, innovative problem solvers, we would love to talk with you! Learn more about opportunities by visiting Careers at Life School.
Open Enrollment
Life School held its open enrollment lottery on February 29th, and over 1,000 students were included in the lottery. General enrollment is now open for the 2024-2025 school year, and families may apply here. Many campuses have limited space, so families are encouraged to apply as soon as possible.
Partnering with parents is an essential piece of Life School’s mission. We invite and encourage parents to partner with teachers, staff, and administrators to support their child's social, emotional, behavioral, and academic needs. Parent and family nights are provided throughout the year to ensure parents and guardians have the opportunity to experience learning alongside their children.
Parents Supporting Students
The enthusiasm and engagement shown by Life School families this year are truly remarkable. We are thrilled to witness a record level of parental involvement, especially at events like our recent GT Expo and Parent Nights throughout the year.
The high turnout at these events demonstrates a strong commitment from parents to support their children's education and enrichment. By participating in these events, families are deepening their partnership with Life School and encouraging and inspiring students toward success!
We are energized by the enthusiastic participation of our Life School families and look forward to more exciting events and activities ahead!
Several of our campuses still have their STEM Parent Nights coming up, which is always a crowd favorite! Be sure to follow your student’s campus on the Partners for Life Digital Platform to stay current on events!

Teacher Appreciation Week
Teacher Appreciation Week is a wonderful opportunity for us to show our gratitude to the dedicated educators who work tirelessly for the benefit of our students. Here are some ways we can support and encourage our teachers during this special week:
Expressing Gratitude: Take the time to thank teachers for their hard work and dedication personally. A simple, heartfelt note or verbal appreciation can go a long way in affirming their efforts.
Acts of Kindness: Show random acts of kindness throughout the week. It could be bringing them a cup of coffee, offering to help with classroom tasks, or surprising them with a small treat.
Encouraging Words: Share words of encouragement and praise. Let teachers know how their efforts have positively impacted students and families.
Help us by thanking a Life School teacher this week!
Senior Life Projects
Each year, Life School Seniors participate in a year-long project called Senior Life Projects. This year-long project truly allows students to delve into their interests, gain hands-on experience, and develop essential skills with the guidance of a mentor.
Working closely with a mentor throughout the year offers seniors a unique opportunity to bridge the gap between classroom learning and real-world application. Mentors provide valuable insights, share practical knowledge, and offer guidance based on their professional expertise, which can be instrumental in shaping students' career aspirations. We’d like to say a big THANK YOU to all of our Life School Senior Project Mentors!
Engaging in Senior Life Projects empowers students to build confidence as they navigate through challenges and accomplishments in their chosen field. It encourages critical thinking, problem-solving, and self-management skills.
We are incredibly proud of our seniors for their dedication, creativity, and commitment to personal growth through the Senior Life Projects. Here's to celebrating their achievements and wishing them continued success as they embark on exciting future endeavors!
