Alive Academy exists to help children know and love Jesus, build a lifelong commitment to His Church, and boldly live out their faith.
We are more than a school.
At Alive Academy, we partner with families to disciple children in the way of Jesus, providing a Spirit-filled, Spirit-led environment where students grow academically, emotionally, physically, mentally, and spiritually.
Through our commitment to biblical truth, prayer, and worship, we nurture future leaders who honor God, serve others, and embrace their unique purpose.
