The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in 1952 that students can be released from public school to receive religious instruction provided the program meets three criteria: 1-off school property, 2-privately funded, 3-with parental permission. Known as “released time,” this legal opportunity for religious education has remained almost completely unknown for the last 70 years… Until now.

LifeWise Academy has built a plug-n-play released time model, unlocking this opportunity for the nation. Since launching in 2019, LifeWise has experienced exponential growth. Many communities that adopt LifeWise are seeing participation rates exceeding 70% of their public school student body. Rural, urban and suburban communities are all experiencing the life- changing power of reinstalling Bible education into the public school day.
