THE LIFE ACADEMY DIFFERENCE
BREADTH OF LIFE
LIFE Academy Charter School is located in Montgomery, Alabama, on the historic grounds of St. Jude Educational Institute. Established in 1946, St. Jude Educational Institute was the first to offer educational equality and freedom to the African American community. During a time of segregation and economic struggle, St. Jude was a beacon of hope and light for the city of Montgomery. During the Selma to Montgomery March of 1965, this campus served as a place of refuge and restoration for those attacked on that fateful Bloody Sunday.
​
With the same beliefs today, we aim to make a significant, positive impact on students, families, and our community. We provide our scholars with a high-quality education, grounded in their current skills and experiences. We offer opportunities for personal growth, the development of critical thinking, and the exercise of self-discipline to secure lifelong success.
A HISTORIC FOUNDATION OF EMPOWERMENT
Through our dedicated faculty and innovative programs, LIFE Academy maintains a supportive learning environment that empowers students to reach their full potential. We prioritize academic excellence, character development, and community engagement, playing a vital role in shaping the lives of our students and preparing them for a successful future.
