Our Beliefs

WEALTH OF KNOWLEDGE

All students enter school with a wealth of knowledge rooted in culture, language, and personal experience. That knowledge should be built upon, not diminished, and serve as the foundation for which students learn to navigate the cultures of the world.

01

STRONG FOUNDATION

A strong foundation of self-determination and self-advocacy is essential to student success in education and the professional world. All of our students are capable of reaching high levels of success. School should provide sufficient time for students to identify long-term goals, and navigate ways of realizing them.

02

FOUNDATIONAL NEEDS

Students’ physical and social-emotional needs are a prerequisite to higher-order problem solving and rigorous academic achievement. When the foundational needs of students are addressed, students can engage at their highest level and meet the cognitive demands required in the classroom.

03

SOCIAL CAPITAL

Direct exposure to local and national resources, beyond the student’s current experiences, provides students with the self-confidence and social capital needed to be competitive in the world.

04

LIFE3 VALUES

Leadership

LIFE³ Academy builds on students’ vision of their own future and provides the strategies and understanding of how to motivate and inspire others to engage in that vision.

Integrity

Freedom

Efficacy

LIFE³ equips teachers, staff, and students with the academic and social awareness and capital to produce their own desired results.

OUR FACILITY

LIFE Academy Alabama is proud to be housed at the Historic St. Jude Educational Institute in Montgomery, AL.

St. Jude Educational Institute was a private, Roman Catholic high school in Montgomery, Alabama, United States. It was located in the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Mobile, and was built as part of the City of St. Jude by Father Harold Purcell for the advancement of the Negro people.

St. Jude was opened in 1946. It offered a full college preparatory program as well as basic skills and trade programs at night for adults.

During the Selma to Montgomery marches in 1965, the march camped on the St. Jude campus. The “Stars for Freedom” rally was held, featuring singers Harry Belafonte, Peter, Paul and Mary, and Tony Bennett, and comedian Sammy Davis Jr. The campus was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990, and is part of the Selma to Montgomery National Historic Trail, created in 1996.
