WARSAW — LifeWise Academy in Warsaw will offer Bible-based classes this fall to Jefferson Elementary students in grade 4.

Students will be escorted from Jefferson Elementary across the street to Winona Lake Grace Church, where the LifeWise teacher and volunteers will provide Bible-based character education, according to a news release from LifeWise Academy.

“Thanks to our supportive community, we can offer LifeWise classes to Jefferson Elementary students in grade 4,” said Nikki Bowers, LifeWise Academy Warsaw director.

“We look forward to seeing how this program will positively impact students and bring our community together. Our first class is just the beginning — we are excited to expand to more grades and schools in the future,” she said.

One day a week, LifeWise lessons will be part of the students’ lunch/recess time. Families can enroll their students at lifewise.org/warsawin.

The program helps strengthen students’ character development and mental health and supports educators’ efforts in building strong students, the release states. Students learn the Bible chronologically, with each lesson relating a Bible passage to a relevant character trait that students are encouraged to practice in their families and communities.

LifeWise Academy, based in Hilliard, Ohio, is a released-time religious instruction program providing Bible-based character education to public school students. With parent permission, students are released from school for one hour per week to attend off-campus classes.
