From Our Team
You Found Something Different.

If you're reading this, you probably already felt it β€” that Live2Create isn't like other schools. You're right. And we don't say that to be impressive. We say it because it matters for your decision.

This guide exists because we believe informed families make the best partners. We want you to know exactly what we're building, what we'll ask of your student, and what you can expect from us in return. No surprises.

Live2Create Leadership Academy is a faith-centered, studio-based learning program launching Fall 2026 in Metro Atlanta. We serve students ages 11 and up β€” launching with two cohorts and growing one grade level per year. Every student here will be known by name, coached toward their purpose, and challenged to build something real.

We don't teach at students. We build with them. We don't rank them against each other. We walk alongside them. And we never let them forget that who they are is more important than any grade they could earn.

If that resonates β€” this guide is for you.

02 β€” What Makes Us Different
This Is Not a Traditional School.

Here's what that actually means β€” side by side with what most families are used to.

Traditional SchoolLive2Create Leadership Academy
Students sit in rows, listening to lecturesStudents work in a creative studio β€” building, collaborating, creating
Teachers deliver content to the whole classCoaches guide individuals through Personalized Learning Plans
Progress measured by tests and letter gradesProgress demonstrated through portfolios, projects, and presentations
All students follow the same paced curriculumStudents advance when they demonstrate real mastery
Learning stays inside the classroomTwice a week, we transport students to real-world off-site experiences
Faith is separate from school lifeA biblical worldview shapes our culture and our questions daily
Students graduate with a transcriptStudents graduate with a portfolio, certifications, and identity clarity
The Live2Create Model
Five Pillars. One Direction.

Every part of the program β€” the schedule, the projects, the coaching, the culture β€” is built on five pillars that shape who your student becomes.

🎯
Purpose
Students don't just learn subjects β€” they discover who they are. Every project, coaching conversation, and community experience is designed to help students name their gifts and claim their calling.
🎨
Creativity
Creativity is not a class β€” it's a lens. Students use art, media, design, and innovation to deepen understanding, solve problems, and build things that matter. Every student creates something real every week.
✝️
Faith
Faith is not a class period β€” it's embedded in our culture. Students develop spiritual maturity alongside academic and leadership growth.
🌍
Real-World Learning
Twice a week, students leave the studio for field experiences β€” workplace visits, mentorship sessions, community projects, and industry exposure. Learning is never theoretical here.
πŸ…
Leadership Development
Leadership is practiced daily β€” not just taught. Students hold rotating community roles, lead project teams, and give and receive feedback. By year's end, students can name their strengths, their patterns, and their purpose.
How We Measure Growth
Replaces the Report Card

The Student Journey
What a Full Year Looks Like.

No two students move through the year identically β€” but every student moves through the same four seasons of growth.

Q1
August – October Β· Seed Stage
Arriving & Orienting
Your student is learning the culture, building trust with their coach and cohort, and completing their first major project β€” a personal narrative about who they are. Coaches assess each student at entry and build their Personalized Learning Plan. Expect some adjustment.
Q2
October – December Β· Root Stage
Going Deeper
Students move into more challenging project work and deeper academic focus. The first Presentation of Learning happens at the end of this period β€” a public showcase of Cycle 1 work. Families attend. Students lead.
Q3
January – March Β· Branch Stage
Expanding & Risking
Students take on their most ambitious project of the year β€” a community-connected challenge in their Leadership Track. Coaches push harder here. Some students will struggle. That's the point. This is where real growth happens.
Q4
March – May Β· Fruit Stage
Completing & Claiming
Students complete their Signature Project, finalize their portfolio, and prepare for the year-end Presentation of Learning. Your student presents their full body of work to coaches, family, and community partners. They speak for themselves, tell the story of their growth, and set goals for what comes next. This is not a performance. It's proof.
What Your Student Walks Away With
Academic
Mastery Transcript
Progress documented by demonstrated skill β€” aligned to grade-level standards.
Portfolio
4 Real Projects
Personal narrative, community proposal, teaching project, and capstone β€” all portfolio-ready.
Credentials
1+ Certification
Industry-recognized credential in digital literacy, financial literacy, or their track area.
What We Ask of You
We're Building This Together.

Participation at Live2Create is a mutual commitment. We bring our coaches, our model, and our full investment in your student. We ask families to show up as partners.

βœ“
Attend Quarterly PLP Reviews
Four times a year, sit down with your student and their coach to review growth, celebrate wins, and set new goals. These are not optional.
βœ“
Prioritize Consistent Attendance
Every student's presence matters to the community. Schedule vacations and appointments outside of program hours.
βœ“
Reinforce the Model at Home
Ask about their projects. Listen when they talk about their coach. When the year feels hard, remind them that growth is not always linear.
βœ“
Communicate via Newton App
All program communication β€” attendance, payments, updates β€” runs through Newton. Respond within 48 hours when possible.
βœ“
Trust the Coaching Process
Your student's coach sees them every day. When they share an observation β€” even a hard one β€” receive it as the gift it is.
What to Expect from Us
Our Commitment to You.

This is what you can hold us to β€” every cycle, every year.

πŸ‘€ A Coach Who Knows Your Student
Not just their grades β€” their goals, patterns, and strengths. Weekly 1:1 check-ins and quarterly narrative reports keep you in the loop.
πŸ“‹ A Living Personalized Learning Plan
Built with your student at the start of each program cycle. Reviewed quarterly. Student-owned β€” they learn to track their own growth.
🚌 Transport to All Off-Site Experiences
Every Tuesday and Thursday, we transport students to and from real-world experiences. Families handle daily drop-off and pick-up at the studio only.
πŸ“£ Honest, Regular Communication
We will tell you what's going well and what needs attention β€” in writing, on time, and directly. We ask the same in return.
🎯 30-Day Alignment Guarantee
If within the first 30 days you feel this isn't the right fit, we will work with you on a resolution. We'd rather get it right than hold you to a bad match.
Parents Ask. We Answer.
The Questions We Hear Most.

We'd rather answer these here than leave them unanswered in an info session.

Will my student fall behind academically?
No β€” and for most students, the opposite is true. Live2Create uses mastery-based pathways aligned to grade-level standards. Students are placed at their actual skill level and advance when they demonstrate real understanding. Students who were socially promoted fill gaps that were papered over. Students who were unchallenged finally move at the right pace.
Is this a homeschool program?
No. Live2Create is a full-time learning program β€” Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 3:00 PM. Students attend every day. If you are a registered homeschool family, you will need to understand how participation at Live2Create interacts with your reporting obligations.
What about college preparation?
Live2Create develops students who are ready for any pathway β€” college, trades, entrepreneurship, or creative careers. Academic mastery is tracked and documented. High school students receive credit documentation and transcript records. The portfolio and certifications they graduate with are real-world proof of readiness β€” often more compelling than a transcript alone.
Is Live2Create faith-required?
Live2Create is faith-centered, not faith-required. Students are not required to hold specific beliefs, but families should be comfortable with a biblical worldview shaping the program environment.
How do I know if my student is the right fit?
Live2Create works best for students ready to take ownership of their learning β€” creative, entrepreneurial, or simply unseen in traditional settings β€” with families ready to be active partners. Not a strong fit: students who need heavy external structure, or families primarily seeking a traditional academic experience.
What does a typical week look like?
Every day opens with Morning Grounding. Monday, Wednesday, and Friday are Core Days β€” project work, academics, skill labs, creative studios, and portfolio reflection. Tuesday and Thursday are Studio + Field Days β€” project work in the morning, off-site experiences in the afternoon with transportation provided. Friday closes with Community Celebration.
Can Georgia Promise Scholarship or ESA funds be used?
Yes. Live2Create Foundation Network, Inc. is an approved learning services provider. Georgia Promise Scholarship and ESA funds may be applied toward your Learning Services Agreement. Contact our Admissions Team at admissions@live2create.org to walk through the process.
Ready to Move Forward?
Here's How It Works.

Our onboarding process is selective and values-based. We don't fill seats β€” we build a community.

01
Complete the Interest Form
Visit live2create.org and submit the interest form. You'll hear back within 3–5 business days with an overview and next steps.
02
Family Conversation
A 30–45 minute conversation with our Admissions Team. Not an interview β€” a conversation. We want to understand your student, your family's values, and what you're looking for. We'll be honest about fit.
03
Student Submission
A short submission including a student essay or creative piece and basic background information. We're looking for readiness and motivation β€” not perfection.
04
Participation Decision
Families receive a decision within 7–10 business days. Invited families receive a welcome packet, the Family Partnership Agreement, and instructions to secure their spot.
05
Onboarding Session
Before the first day, all students and families attend an Onboarding Session. Students meet their coach, see the space, and begin their initial PLP framework. This is where it starts to feel real.

12–20 Students. Fall 2026.
The Founding Cohort.

Founding families shape who Live2Create becomes. The students who walk through our doors in Fall 2026 aren't just joining a program β€” they're helping build something lasting. Spots are limited and filled in order of submission completion.
