LifeWise Academy is a nationwide program that offers religious instruction during school hours. The program is set to introduce classes to fourth-grade students at Stafford Elementary. As part of the program, students will be driven to the nearby Christian service center for approximately an hour during lunch recess.
LifeWise Academy Abilene ISD Director Tia Throop emphasized that the academy provides more than just Bible stories.
“Thanks to our supportive community, we can offer LifeWise classes to Stafford Elementary students in the 4th grade,” said LifeWise Academy Abilene ISD Director Tia Throop.
A statement from LifeWise states that the program helps strengthen students’ character development and mental health and supports educators’ efforts in building strong students. Students learn the Bible chronologically, with each lesson relating a Bible passage to a relevant character trait that students are encouraged to practice in their families and communities.
The first class is coming up on Monday, February 24. LifeWise Academy is not associated with the Abilene Independent School District.
