It was the first charter school in St. Louis, Missouri. The idea for the Academy grew out of Cohen's other nonprofit organization, Lift For Life Gym which was once a garage, an after-school center for at-risk children located on the north side of St. Louis, 14th & Cass. Begun in 1988 as a gym for inner-city youth, the organization has since expanded to offer a variety of educational and recreational programs and activities. HistoryThe Lift For Life Academy building was originally a bank, built in 1903. Marshall Cohen later bought the building to start the first charter school with his goal to start a school so that children could have a future to look up to. Lift For Life Academy opened in 1998 starting with 88 students; it was led by JoAnn Perkins, the first principal. It eventually expanded to a high school in the year of 2008-2009.
