Development: Mind, Body, & Spirit

Your child is a unique creation of God

At Life Prep Academy we believe that your child is a unique creation of God. As a private Christian school, we emphasis Godly morals and conservative values.

Parents of Life Prep students know that the school they send their children to is assisting them, not fighting against them, in the training of the most precious commodity of all – our children and our future.

For the Lord gives wisdom, from His mouth comes knowledge and understanding.
Proverbs 2:6

Preparing Your Student Academically for Life

Parents and students love our four-day school week. Monday through Thursday is reserved for normal class operation, including lectures, tests, and class participation.

Fridays are reserved as a teacher in-service day where students can come in for one-on-one tutoring with their teachers, catch up on assignments, or excel with extra-credit work.

A Strong Body Is An Alert Body

Life Prep has many opportunities for organized sports.

We strive for excellence and compete with some of the top teams in our region. Life Prep has seen many of our athletes receive full scholarships to D1, D2, NAIA and CC. colleges. Our alumni boast of many successful athletic careers.

If your student is looking for a private school that cares about and assists students in their athletic future than Life Prep is for you.

Dorm Life

Our Top-Notch Facilities and Residents

Life Prep is proud to be home to students from over 20 different countries, all housed in our beautifully designed dormitories. Our diverse community creates a unique and enriching environment where students not only receive a top-tier education but also experience cultural exchange on a daily basis.

Our dedicated Dorm Directors feel truly fortunate to work with students of various ages, backgrounds, and nationalities. From welcoming both new and returning students at the airport to ensuring they feel at home in their rooms, our staff is committed to providing a supportive and comfortable living experience.

The Life Prep dormitory is conveniently located within the school building and offers a range of amenities, including an indoor pool, boys’ and girls’ lounges, laundry facilities, a cafeteria, a gym, a library, and a computer lab. These resources help create a well-rounded and engaging student life experience.

One of the most rewarding aspects of dorm life is witnessing students from different cultures connect, learn from one another, and embrace new experiences. Whether it’s trying new foods, celebrating different traditions, or improving their English skills, our students gain invaluable life experiences that shape their personal and academic growth.

At Life Prep, we don’t just provide a place to stay—we create a home away from home, where friendships are formed, cultures are celebrated, and students are empowered to thrive in a global community.

International Student Testimonials



The Dorm Directors welcomed me as soon as I got to the dorms, and they tried me make me feel comfortable with the new place. I could tell that they considered me as a part of the dorm family, not just another student. They helped me through not only in the dorms but also the school stuff. They are great RAs, and I’d rather say that they are just like my other set of parents now here.

Coming to Life Prep Academy was just amazing! From the first moment, I felt at home. Like I was loved and that people cared about me. When you are in a foreign country sometimes it’s hard to get used to a completely new life but the Dorm Directors made it really easy for me because I have the same family environment that I had back home. They also introduced me to a completely different culture that I was not that familiar to and it was just really easy to change the way that I did things and that I behaved in my country and all of that was due to them.

As an international student from Macedonia, I had the opportunity to spend a year with the Dorm Directors. When I first came to Life Prep Dormitories, they welcomed me kindly and made my year special. It was year spent in joy and I am so glad that I happened to be one of the international students. We had a lot of fun but most important peace and safety. They cared for us like we are their own children, which made me feel like I am home. What I realized is that they want me to succeed. Including school, they did everything they could to help me to have good grades. I am very thankful to the Dorm Directors for giving the best of them to make the best of me.

The Dorm Directors helped me and the other student’s feel welcome into the dorms and the American culture since the first couple weeks I was here. First of all, the Dorm Director has children and so they understand how us teenagers can think sometimes and tries to adapt to us. The Dorm Directors are always there for the good stuff and bad stuff and make sure you are having a good time. They make sure we have the best food at the dorms, also they make special meals for different holidays to makes us feel more into the American culture. They will always be available for any emergencies and they also always looking out for us. All that effort they put in helps all of the students feel welcomed at Life Prep Academy and the American culture.
