Message from our Superintendent

Welcome to Life Academy International!

It is a joy to introduce you to a Christ-centered school community where students are known, loved, and equipped to live lives of purpose. At LAI, we believe education is not just about what a student knows, but who they are becoming in Christ. That’s why we passionately pursue our calling: Lead in LIFE and Lead for CHRIST.

As a mother of two children myself, I understand the deep desire every parent has to see their child grow in wisdom, faith, and character. I also know firsthand the power of Christian education to shape a child’s worldview, identity, and future. My passion for raising the next generation of Christ-followers is what drives me, both as a mom and a school leader.

At LAI, our mission is guided by our core values, rooted in the word “LIFE”:

• L – Love and Leadership: We foster a culture of Christ-like love where students learn to lead with humility, courage, and compassion.
• I – Integrity and Innovation: We hold fast to God’s truth while preparing students to think critically and creatively in a changing world.
• F – Followers of Christ: Everything we do flows from our desire to follow Jesus and make Him known.
• E – Excellence in All Things: We pursue excellence in academics, the arts, service, and character—not for personal achievement, but to glorify God.

We are raising up global leaders who are anchored in Christ and prepared to impact their communities and the world for His Kingdom. Our faculty and staff are more than educators—they are mentors, disciplers, and co-laborers in forming students who will shine as beacons of light in this generation.

Whether you are a prospective family, a ministry partner, or simply exploring who we are, I invite you to experience the difference of a school that puts Christ at the center of everything. At LAI, your child will be academically challenged, spiritually nurtured, and encouraged to step boldly into their God-given calling.

In Him,
Rebekah Owens, Ph.D.
Superintendent
