Lifewise Academy is a nationwide released-time religious instruction (RTRI) program that operates during the school day. Lifewise encourages churches to remove students from public schools to attend a fundamental Christian Bible class. Lifewise's curriculum is provided by the Southern Baptist Convention. Lifewise advocates removing students from classes rather than from lunch and recess. The goal of Lifewise has been to disrupt the public schools, remove students from class time, and boost church enrollment. Lifewise has lobbied states across the country to mandate that schools work with them. Lifewise is an evangelistic tool of the churches that coordinate with them.
