In my opinion, Life Center is not a school I would recommend. The environment feels messy, and a lot of students come to school obviously high on drugs, which makes it hard for others to focus and learn. It also seems like athletes get special treatment, especially when it comes to grades and staying eligible for sports. There are even reclassed students who are way older than everyone else in regular classes, which can make things uncomfortable. Instead of fixing these problems, the school acts like nothing is wrong. Overall, my experience there was disappointing, and I think the school needs to care more about academics, student behavior, and creating a better environment.

Life Center Academy changed. It was a decent school.

Under recent changes of administration in the past 5 years, many aspects of LCA have grown worse. LCA was very good under the previous administration around the years of about 2014 to 2019.

Disciplining of students has degraded, and many students seem to be disciplined inconsistently depending on things like sports, social status, or perceived value to the schools academic and athletic reputation.

Many teachers in LCA are very caring to students, and teach well; throughout the time I was there, there were always some teachers that you could open up to and who actually cared about you, the student.

Due to the schools small size, gossip and personal conflicts spread quickly and become difficult to avoid. Based on my own experience and of several other students, bullying and social issues between students often seemed to be poorly or not at all addressed by administration.

Administration often treats the mental health of students unevenly, it doesn't seem like there is a clear protocol for when a student is going through something or does something mental health-wise at LCA.

2026: Inconsistent admin and largely toxic student body

If we would have known Life Center Academy was here sooner, all of our kids would have graduated from here. This is the first real, Christian school we have found in the South Jersey area. Some other schools use the term "Christian" as a business to attract Christian families but they are not run as a ministry, it's all about the money. Life Center Academy teachers, administrators and coaches all show amazing care for the LCA students and help guide them so they become real difference makers after they graduate. I highly recommend Life Center Academy for families who really want their kids in a true Christ centered environment. The educators are all extremely dedicated in helping the students with their work. The administrators really help every family have a smooth transition into the school and the sports coaches are all amazing men and women of God.

I am so glad we found Little Angel Preschool at Life Center Academy, I really wish I sent my son sooner but he is thriving in his preschool class. We notice a huge improvement in his learning, specfically identifying his letters, writing and learning his numbers. We appreciate the time the teachers take to put together meaningful and creative lessons. My son is enjoying learning more about his christian faith and recites bible verses and sings songs every day. We appreciate the consistency at this school. I would recommend to anyone looking for a very amazing school for their child.

All of the teachers we have encountered are extremely dedicated, creative and engaging. They are very good at communicating and have high expectations for all students.

I am so grateful for the opportunity to go to Life Center K-12th. My parents knew that a Christian education would be best, and I am so thankful that they made that decision for me. My foundation in Christ was set at this school, and I was able to graduate Salutatorian and earn a full ride on New Jersey Stars to my local county college, not to mention meeting my husband and making life long relationships there. I was given a great education, support system and taught lifelong lessons there that you cannot put a price on.

Life Center Academy has an amazing faculty and student. I was blessed to attend this school through high school. I accredit many of the values that I have to the lessons I was taught during my time there whether they be in the classroom or the weekly chapel services. This school is not a monastery and the students do not walk around with Bibles in their hands and the behavior isnt perfect. When you send your child to this school, you are not paying for a perfect body of students and a top-notch education. You are paying for small well-taught classes by teachers that want nothing more than to see you walk across the stage on graduation day. While Life Center Academy is exactly like a public school in terms of education and student body, the staff will pour more into the hearts and minds of the students than any other place.

Agree

The school has great core values that they instill in the students to build character in and out of the classroom

The amount of care these teachers have for the kids and how much effort they put forth to ensure the success of each student is amazing to see.

Agree

We hold them to a higher standard and homework is key

I am the guidance counselor at Life Center Academg and I can't see myself any other place. God is on the move here and it's exciting! I love being able to connect to the students and teachers and help them work towards attaining their goals in life. When I was deciding to work here or not, I attended a chapel service and saw the students praising and worshiping our Lord and, at that moment, I knew that this was the place for me. You can see the teachers and administration really care about the students and have such a heart for this school and the community around us. We hold our students to a high standard academically, spiritually, and personally and our students rise to the occasion. It's such a great environment to be in on a daily basis.

I attended Life Center Academy for all 4 years of high school. Loved the time I spent there! Because of the school size it's much like a family. My best friends today are friends that I met during my years at LCA. Definitely not a perfect school but I doubt you'll find a perfect school anywhere.
When it came to taking my SATs I scored sufficiently to attend any college and I was accepted to every college that I applied to. Then once I got to college I felt more than prepared and went on to be successful there as well.
I also attribute LCA to giving me a strong spiritual foundation which has helped me to wise life decisions.

I recently attended an open house at this beautiful school. The hallways were very pleasant and calming, but also engaging. The teachers were very well spoken and delightful. I had a student take me on the tour and she was very smart and able to answer any questions I had. I met with the guidance counselor, as well and he was very calming and charming. He made me feel welcomed into his office instantly and engaged in conversation easily. You could tell how much he cares about everyone that walks through his doors. I had some questions for him and he had the answers. The facility was just all around beautiful and an amazing experience. I will definitely be praying and considering enrolling my son into the Life Center Academy.

My daughter learned to read and write beautifully from Pre-K at Little Angels and continued in Kindergarten at Life Center Academy. Every teacher she encountered truly cared about her success and challenged her to continue to grow. We are excited for another great year at Life Center Academy.

You will not find a school where the students are loved and cared for by the teachers more than LCA. My children both graduated from LCA and have now graduated college successfully.

Life Center Academy is a overall good school. Although the school highly revolves around Pentecostal Christianity in Bible study classes and weekly chapel services, many of the students ignore the religious aspect and are not actually Christian. So do not expect to be sending your kid to a monastery upon applying, because it has good and bad kids just like every school. Academics are good, but technology is very behind at LCA. Teachers are often right partisan in social studies teaching and discussion. Sports, especially basketball are very good. Many students from around the globe have been sent to LCA just to play sports because scholarship opportunity is so great there for sports.

Doesn't properly prepare you for life after graduation. Education is sub-par especially in science. Too focused on religious activities and not enough on education.

The worse school ever! I went to LCA at it's inception and feel robbed of a good education foundation. Thank God my parents pulled me out and sent me to public school. I found myself in culture shock and struggling to keep up after the transition, but in hindsight made me a hard worker. I hope they abolished the theory of learning at your own pace (who was the brains behind that one?) because it didn't work. I can still remember verses from the Bible but find it hard to put a good paragraph together because I was never taught the "golden rules". In my experience LCA was a terrible school for education but big on Christian values. I would not recommend this school if you have high hopes on your child becoming a doctor or lawyer but would recommend if you want to feel connected to a community that blurs it's lines of their own agendia. The long and short of it is that I feel cheated that I did not get a good early education and I have suffered and struggled because of a weak foundation LCA paved for me. I hope and pray it's a better school today and they have learned from their mistakes.
