Our Mission...
Learning is Foundational and Experiential (LIFE) is a 9th-12th grade high school in Brooklyn, New York. Our central purpose is to prepare students for varied life experiences based on their goals and interests grounded in an exploratory curriculum that purposefully blends breadth and depth with communal and personal. At LIFE, we believe that there are multiple life paths and varied routes of success.
