Bible Education forThornapple Kellogg Students

No, while LifeWise is held during the school day, it does not interfere with students’ mandatory courses. The class schedule is set by school personnel in consultation with LifeWise representatives. Classes are held during non-core academic periods, such as during lunch or electives.

LifeWise classes focus on core themes of the Bible, what we refer to as the “main and plain things” of Scripture, with emphasis on the gospel of Jesus Christ. Each lesson reviews a Bible passage as well as a “Living LifeWise” character trait, such as respect, love or kindness.

LifeWise is complementary to before and after-school programs. The primary distinctive feature of LifeWise is that it operates during the school day, thereby engaging with all students whose parents have given permission for them to attend.

No, while LifeWise is held during the school day, it does not interfere with students' mandatory courses. Class schedules are arranged by school staff in coordination with LifeWise representatives to ensure no core curriculum is missed. At LifeWise TK, classes are held once a week during lunch and recess—so students are always back before recess ends.

LifeWise is led by experienced teachers and dedicated volunteers who are passionate about working with children and sharing biblical values. To ensure the safety and well-being of every student, all staff and volunteers undergo a thorough screening and training process, including a complete background check and training on child abuse awareness and mandated reporting. In addition, LifeWise staff and volunteers receive ongoing training and support, and program leaders continually monitor classrooms to maintain a safe, nurturing, and high-quality learning environment for all students.
