Supporters
Life Learning Academy is deeply grateful to the growing list of public and private supporters who join us in our mission. For the past 24 years, we’ve provided an innovative, student-centered small-school model for Bay Area students who have not found a sense of belonging at other institutions. We believe that when our students become immersed in a community of mutual respect and accountability, they surpass everyone’s expectations. This belief is supported by our graduation rates, student post-graduate commitments to higher education and employment, and commitment to citizenship. We are about to celebrate a quarter century of success, and are entering this milestone with ambitious plans to enhance our existing program and facilities, and spread our model across California. For more information, or to get involved, please contact Allyson Halpern, Chief Advancement Officer, at or (415) 397-8957.
