LifeWise Academy Ottawa Glandorf is a non-denominational released time religious instruction program.  The program classes are held off school property during the school day, are privately funded, and parent permission is required for a student to participate.  The LifeWise Academy Ottawa Glandorf program currently offers Bible education classes to K-8 students from Ottawa Elementary, Glandorf Elementary, and homeschooled students in the community.  Our LifeWise program works with our local school district to find the best rotation schedule for the students participating. LifeWise Academy was founded in 2018 as a division of Stand For Truth, an event-based nonprofit ministry with a mission to reach public school students. Our program focuses on core themes of the Bible and emphasizes the gospel of Jesus Christ.  The curriculum utilizes the Christian Standard Bible (CSB) in its lessons and supplemental material.  The LifeWise curriculum is designed to take students through the entire Bible over five years; each lesson reviews a Bible passage as well as a “Living LifeWise” character trait. Our program uses a curriculum that outlines instructional use and implementation. We conduct teacher training and have a robust support system to give our teachers the tools they need to successfully teach lessons.
