Lift for Life Academy Home

As we prepare to begin another incredible school year, I want to personally welcome each of you back to Lift For Life Academy. I am honored to continue this work with our excellent educators, families, staff members, and students.

 

The 2026–2027 school year represents more than just another academic year; it marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter in the history of Lift For Life Academy. We have new leadership at the elementary and middle school levels.  We have divided the middle school into a Lower Middle and Junior High to better serve our student needs.

 

Over the past year, together we have celebrated remarkable accomplishments.  We were humbled to be recognized by the St. Louis American as the 2026 Readers' Choice Best Charter High School in St. Louis, an honor that reflects the collective dedication of our students, families, faculty, staff, and community partners.

 

While we celebrate our successes, we refuse to become comfortable. Excellence is never a destination, it is a continuous journey.

 

This year, we are proud to introduce one of the most transformational initiatives in our school's history:

 

 

Beginning in elementary school, students will explore careers through engaging, age-appropriate experiences. In middle school, they will deepen their understanding through project-based learning and career exploration. By high school, students will participate in internships, certifications, dual-credit opportunities, business partnerships, college experiences, and career preparation that equips them for success beyond graduation.
