Iowa law fuels LifeWise Academy growth, including in Des Moines metro

A Christian religious education program is expanding its reach in Iowa, including in the Des Moines metro area. LifeWise Academy first came to Iowa in 2022. A 2025 state law that allows public school students to be excused from school to attend religious instruction courses for up to five hours a week boosted interest and helped LifeWise expand to 37 schools across 24 districts. Students were allowed to leave school for religious instruction before Iowa's law took effect. A 1952 U.S. Supreme Court ruling permits students to leave school for religious instruction if the program is privately funded, held off school grounds, is voluntary, and if parents or guardians give consent. LifeWise Academy meets those requirements, but the Iowa law provided clarity for communities that were interested in joining the program, said Sarah Buzynski, LifeWise's Iowa director. The academy began in rural Ohio in 2019 and now has chapters in more than 1,000 communities across the United States. To start a LifeWise chapter, community members must gather signatures, raise money and form a leadership team, and get permission from a school. Interested students can enroll in weekly instruction during times that do not interfere with core classes, such as lunch,
