Our Mission

We are committed to uphold the separation of church and state in public education by providing oversight, information and advocacy to engage our communities. Our goal is to ensure that all children have access to an equitable education, grounded in evidence-based principles, academic integrity and respect for diversity in a secular learning environment.

The Secular Education Association, originally founded in 2023 as Parents Against Lifewise, was created by concerned parents to raise awareness about Lifewise Academy’s influence in public schools. The group is dedicated to protecting the separation of church and state and preserving the integrity of public education. They oppose Lifewise’s religious conversion mission and its qualification as an RTRI program, viewing it as discriminatory and harmful to inclusivity. The association advocates for children’s right to learn free from religious pressure, ensuring all students receive equal educational opportunities without coercion or exclusion.
