Success often breeds success – in 2000 we opened Lift For Life Academy, the first independent charter middle school in the City of St. Louis. Our Academy, sponsored by Southeast Missouri State University, provides a middle school education to students in 6th, 7th and 8th grades. And Lift For Life Academy now offers 9th grade as well. We will add a grade each year with the ultimate goal to be a 6th – 12th grade middle and high school by Fall 2011.
