About Us

Overview

L.I.F.E. (Learning by Integrating Film in Education) is a small, safe, college preparatory environment where students pursue their learning in an atmosphere supported by the entire school community.  At Life Academy High School for Film and Music, we infuse the study of film, the art of filmmaking, audio production and new media into engaging, student centered and project-based courses. We focus on building communication skills in writing, presentation and creativity. Our student teacher mentoring program helps each student develop personal relationships and positive citizenship. We seek students who want to learn in an exciting atmosphere of excellence and creative collaboration.

LIFE Academy HS for Film and Music serves grades 9-12 and is housed on a shared space within the Lafayette Educational Campus. Our strategic partnerships with Liberty Partnerships Touro College, College Now and AP for All provides access and exposure to higher education opportunities. Students are encouraged to think critically, develop their unique talents and give back to the community.
