Lift for Life Academy
Lift For Life Academy was founded in 2000 as a charter school for middle school students in the city of St. Louis based on the concept that a high-quality education can provide children a path out of poverty. By first extending its academic reach into high school, and later establishing an elementary school, LFLA has worked to provide opportunities for students to receive a purposeful, high-quality education throughout their academic career. LFLA celebrated the opening of its 5th and 6th Grade Center at the beginning of the 2022-23 school year. In doing so, the charter school achieved a long-time goal: to become a “complete” Academy that serves students from the time they start kindergarten until they graduate from high school.
