LifeWise Academy was founded in 2018 in Ohio as a division of Stand For Truth, an event-based nonprofit ministry with a mission to reach public school students, according to its website.

Clauson that deemed it was constitutional to teach the Bible during the public school day in all 50 states, given that it follows three conditions: that it be held off school premises, that it be privately funded and that parents give permission.
