Life Lab Virtual brings the same interactive Life Lab experience to students online through live, teacher-led Zoom classes.
Students don’t simply watch a lesson or complete a worksheet on their own. They work through real-life situations together, share ideas, make decisions, respond to unexpected curveballs, and explain why they chose their solution.
Each class gives students a place to think out loud, learn from other perspectives, and discover that there isn’t always just one right answer.
It’s not another online course. It’s a place to participate, solve, discuss, and grow.
Life Lab students across the country work through the same weekly challenges, whether they meet in a local class or virtually online.

🎯 A New Real-Life Challenge
Every week begins with a new situation to solve – from managing money and planning events to navigating relationships, making decisions, and handling everyday problems.
✨ More Than One Program
Families can choose between Life Lab Core and Life Lab Faith, depending on availability in their area. Get a discount for taking both classes!
💭 Think It Through
Students explore the challenge, consider their options, ask questions, and create their own solution.
👥 Work With Other Students
Small-group discussion gives students the opportunity to hear different ideas, challenge assumptions, collaborate, and learn from one another.
⚡ Expect the Unexpected
Just when students think they’ve solved the problem, a Life Lab Curveball changes something and makes them rethink their plan.
🗣️ Present & Defend
Students explain their decisions and why they believe their solution will work. There may be many good answers — but students need to be able to explain theirs.
💡 Reflect & Grow
Every challenge ends with conversation about what worked, what changed, and what students might do differently next time.
Life Lab Virtual classes are intentionally kept small so every student has the opportunity to participate.
Students build skills they’ll use far beyond the classroom, including:
✔ Critical thinking
✔ Creative problem-solving
✔ Communication
✔ Decision-making
✔ Confidence
✔ Collaboration
✔ Adaptability
✔ Real-world reasoning
Classes are available for ages 7-12 and ages 13-18, with challenges and discussions adjusted appropriately for each age group.

Life Lab Virtual can be a great fit for:
✔ Homeschool students
✔ Students without a Life Lab Local class nearby
✔ Families waiting for a local class opening
✔ Students who enjoy learning and talking with other kids
✔ Families who need the convenience of learning from home
✔ Students who could use more opportunities to practice speaking up and sharing their ideas
All students need is an internet connection, a device with Zoom, and a willingness to jump in and think.
Virtual classes are offered based on enrollment and availability. Submit a request and we’ll help match your student with an appropriate age group and available class.
