Social Emotional Learning (SEL)

LifeSmart Education takes an active role in the development of children in our public schools through the presence of volunteers focused on literacy. We mentor students one hour per week utilizing a hybrid method. Reading Mentors meet with the students virtually. An in-class mentor monitors and assists small groups of 5 children while they are tutored by their Reading Mentor virtually. Individualized tutoring is provided based on each student's educational needs. We also provide books for the students to enhance literacy at home.

Our Students

Our students at the Walmart "Glasses Give back" event

Giving back to our communities is a priority for us, and the foundation of what we do. Our students attended an event that donates glasses to countries in Africa and other impoverished communities around the globe. Way to go guys!

Book Fair

We encouraged our students to attend a reading literacy book fair. It is important to us because it's important that our youth learn to read comprehensively and make it a part of their everyday lives...

Annual Event

At LifeSmart Education, we work with youth from elementary to high school. These are some of our younger students during our annual student appreciation event at Dave & Busters. It was a blast!!

Fulfilling Our Mission

ABOUT US

Since 2014 we have educated over 1,000 students.

We use award-winning evidence-based curricula

LifeSmart Education envisions individuals who can gain the skill set needed to be responsible and become active members of a global society. 

LifeSmart Education values stewardship, integrity, accountability, and inclusion

Our Impact

Less than 4% of minority youth study abroad.

90% of youth are victims of bullying 


LifeSmarteducation has provided education to improve graduation rates, improve grades, decrease violence and help with employability


Since 1986, the curriculum ARISE has been empowering at-risk youth through a cost-effective, adaptive solution. Through simple and hands-on lessons that are easily adaptable to pre-existing coursework, students benefit from both approachable and interactive activities. Lessons are primarily taught in groups of varying ages, education levels, and backgrounds. Typically lessons last 45-60 minutes per session in order to maximize retention rates as long sessions can deter a student’s focus



Local & Global Awareness

Our students learn

 21st Century Skills 


We teach (Life Skills) locally so that students are ready to present themselves on the world stage (Global Skills) 


Learning from another perspective engages the mind to see the world differently. Using our curricula combined with national travel and abroad travel to bring students unique opportunities for learning in the landscape of global education.


Demonstrating that youth should do everything they do with excellence. Teaching youth how to be excellent in every moment of their life. If students are engaged in an activity that is dancing, the objective becomes teaching youth to focus and be excellent in dance and having this experience trickle down to whatever it is they want to be in life. Teaching youth how to be disciplined and taking the experience of excellence as a learning objective.
