Parent PortalCCF Life Academy was born out of a vision to raise children who will be trained in the fear of the Lord, following Deuteronomy 6 and Proverbs 22:6. The primary goal was to put up a school that will pursue both its students’ academic excellence and Christian character so they can help influence the society for Christ.
The founders envisioned this private and international school to be a good mix of traditional and homeschool, taking the best parts of each and resolving their respective disadvantages. They knew that students from traditional schools are provided opportunities to socialize with their schoolmates, but are often stressed out with requirements, stringent rules, and pressure to score high. Homeschooling, on the other hand, develops creativity and a genuine interest in learning but lacks facilities for honing specialized skills which can only be found in regular schools. Hence, Life Academy was proposed to be an institution that will provide all the best of both of these education systems.
