I have been enrolled in Life School since Kindergarten and I'm currently a Junior at Life Oak Cliff - Secondary. I have enjoyed the teachers, staff and have had a great academic experience. The teachers are qualified and know their subject area content. The teachers really care about their students and their overall academic success. I have been able to receive and attend dual credit classes at Mountain View Community college since I was in the tenth grade. I feel that I will more than prepared to continue my education at the college level. My counselor has supplied me with tools to apply for academic scholarships and I'm aware of my current grade point average and class rank for the 2019 graduating class. I'm excited about my upcoming senior year and the events planned for the graduating class of 2019. I'm on track with my credits needed to graduate and my STAAR scores. I know that I will graduate with Honors and a two year Associate Degree!
Sincerely,
Isaac Blake Durham

During my time at Life School Oak Cliff, I had a very good experience. The school has many opportunities for students to get a head start college wise with its dual credit classes, they can get certified for many things, and so much more. The teachers and coaches are very kind, supportive, and compassionate to the students. The students are very kind as well, loyal, and dependable. Overall the school is like a huge loving and supportive family. I enjoyed my three years there very much, and would definitely recommend for potentially students.
I believe my school taught me how to grow as a person. They showed me that no matter what happens never give up. Through the bad times I always had support as well as the good. Life School tries to help students better themselves as one so when it’s time for the real world you can be ready. Life school teaches leadership, Responsibility at an early age. I been with life school since second grade and they have always tried to enforce discipline.
