About Living Science Academy

Our Vision

Challenging the next generation to reach beyond academic excellence,
building leaders who drive truth and Godly values into society.

Our Educational Philosophy

We are excited and enthusiastic about learning and about sharing that excitement with children and young adults. Our educational philosophy is built on Biblical principles and years of experience:

We believe that parents have the primary responsibility for educating their children, and our job is to come alongside and support parents in that task. Hybrid homeschooling facilitates this partnership.

We believe that every child is made in God’s image, and is therefore worthy of love and respect.

We believe that all children have a natural curiosity, and we seek to develop a love of learning in each one.

We believe that teaching for all learning modalities helps all of our students succeed.

What Makes Living Science Academy Unique?

Besides the STEM focus and educational philosophy above, Living Science Academy has some emphases and traditions that really set us apart.

Family Community

Living Science Academy is a community. Our families are welcome on campus. Parents chaperone our week-long field trips, attend presentation days on campus, and volunteer in various ways to help us out. By being present, parents get to know each other and their students’ friends.

Public Speaking Emphasis

Poised public speaking is a skill we foster at Living Science Academy. Students who are at ease when presenting in front of a group stand out from their peers. On presentation days, students dress in their “business best” and share what they have learned with their classmates. Our graduates have told us that this is one of the most important skills they gained while they were with us.

Leadership Training

Our high school leadership training, the Servant Leader Program, is four years of progressive training and responsibility resulting in young adults who know how to work as a team and lead others with humility, confidence, and grace.

Investment in Students

The Living Science Academy commitment to encouraging and pouring into our students is epitomized in our 16th birthday celebrations. Every student who has a sixteenth birthday while at Living Science has a special evening celebration to commemorate the occasion.

Week-Long Field Trips

Living Science Academy believes in hands-on learning, so much so that we take our entire school on a week-long trip each year. These trips provide experience in learning outside the classroom walls, opportunities to develop closer relationships with peers and faculty, direct exposure to the wonders of God’s creation, and a training ground for servant leaders to plan, serve, teach, and lead.

Graduation

Living Science graduation is like no other. Students and families are truly honored and celebrated as they participate in this special ceremony.

Why STEM?

As an approach to education, STEM emphasizes science, technology, engineering, and math in a practical, interdisciplinary approach. Students see the connections among the disciplines as they try them out, learning which tools to use when, and developing the strong problem-solving skills they need for their futures.

At Living Science Academy, STEM students have many opportunities for this kind of interdisciplinary learning. They may experiment with different designs for a toothpick bridge, refine an early engineering concept into a full-fledged invention, design and build a Rube Goldberg device, calculate a Shannon Wiener index to understand species diversity, and much more. In the years when Technology Association of Georgia (TAG) was giving awards for STEM programs, our middle school program was a multi-year award finalist, and our high school was a TAG STEM award finalist in 2017. In 2016, a team of students from our high school Engineering class placed second in the high school division of the National Invention Convention and Entrepreneurship Expo (NICEE).

Mark 10:14

But when Jesus saw it, he was indignant and said to them, "Let the children come to me; do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of God."
