Christian Life Academy is run by a series of checks and balances. Where the checks are incentives and the balances are controls. Incentives are designed to promote learning achievement and motivation for students, while the balances help keep the learning environment free from distractions. Christian Life Academy does not promote competition, rather we award accomplishments.

Field Trips:
Students who maintain an A privilege for 1 out of 4 weeks and have met attendance standards have the honor of attending the monthly field trip. These fun and educational excursions are held to provide a regular incentive.
A natural outgrowth of such trips is that students are disciplined in the art of self-control and gracious deportment in various social conditions.
Honor Roll Luncheon:
On a designated day during the first week of each quarter students who have obtained Honor Roll Status (completed all required assignments, "C" reports, and quoted scripture references) and who have obtained a 88% - 93% GPA for Supervisor's or 94% -100% GPA for Pastor's Honor Roll will have a personal lunch with the Pastor.
Annual Graduation/Awards Ceremony:
Certificates, metals, and trophies highlight the Annual Graduation/Awards Ceremony. Students are rewarded for what they accomplish, however, students not attending Ceremony will not receive rewards.
Friday Pass
To encourage and congratulate students work habits, students are given the opportunity to receive a pass that will allow them to stay home on Fridays. This pass will be issued on Thursdays. If and only if your student brings a pass home, they will be excused from class on Friday.
Congratulation Slips
Students receive a Congratulation Slip and a corresponding colored star every Monday morning. These slips should be taken home to parents.
Progress Charts
Students are issued a corresponding colored star matching the subject, upon completion of a test. These stars are placed on the Progress Chart for parents, students, and supervisors to keep tract of individual progress being made.
