LifeWise Academy will be opening a location to serve the students at Paulding Exempted Village Schools in the Fall of 2021.
LifeWise is a Released Time Religious Instruction (RTRI) program which provides character focused, Bible- based education to public school students. With parental permission, students will be released from school during the school day to attend classes that are off school property and privately funded.
The ministry serves students by offering practical Bible-based education for the betterment of students’ academic performance, character development, mental health and family and community involvement. LifeWise serves alongside educators by reinforcing and complementing their efforts to build strong students.
LifeWise’s curriculum is designed to take students through the entire Bible over the course of five years. Each lesson reviews a Bible passage as well as a “Living LifeWise” character trait. Rather than presenting the Bible as simply a book of morals or laws which the students should implement, the Bible and the gospel are presented in terms of personal transformation.
LifeWise-Paulding Exempted is run by members of the Paulding community, with the support of many local churches. The ministry is funded through the generous donations of community members, local organizations and businesses.
