Dear Families and Friends,
Every girl has a story. Some carry the weight of rejection, questions of worth, or uncertainty about their future. But every girl also has a God-given identity, a divine purpose, and a calling that no one can take away. At Beauty From Ashes Youth Leadership Academy, we exist to remind her of that truth and to help her walk boldly in it.
She is restored in her identity as a daughter of the King, no longer defined by the world’s labels but by God’s truth. She is strengthened with resilience and hope, facing challenges with courage and faith. She is nurtured to pursue academic excellence and equipped to discover and use her gifts and talents to serve God. She rises as an “oak of righteousness” (Isaiah 61:3)—confident, capable, and prepared to impact her home, community, and the world for His glory.
This vision was planted in my heart years ago by the Lord, and after much prayer, preparation, and faith, I stepped out in obedience to bring it to life. Beauty From Ashes is more than a school. It is a Christ-centered community of faith and learning, birthed from a desire to see the next generation of young women rise with confidence, character, and Christ-centered leadership.
My passion has always been to help girls know who they are in Christ. I long for them to embrace their worth, to live with resilience and excellence, and to lead with compassion and integrity. This is not just education—it is transformation. It is the restoration of young women who will shine brightly for God’s glory.
To our families, donors, and community leaders: I invite you to join us in this calling. Together, we can raise bold girls for bright futures—leaders who are deeply rooted in Christ and prepared to bring hope and change to the world.
With faith and conviction,
Sonya D. Wright

Litchfield Christian School has been such a beautiful blessing to our family. LCS is a Christ-centered school that challenges students academically, nurtures their creativity, promotes a positive learning environment, and contributes to their spiritual growth. LCS is very supportive, and they encourage their students and their families. Our daughter came into LCS completely broken and empty. Public school had taken a drastic toll on her mental health. She had pleaded with us for over a year to homeschool her. We were at a loss. Our daughter is a very social person, and we knew she needed more. We decided to check out LCS as an alternative. From the very moment we stepped inside LCS, we could see and feel the genuine love. EVERYONE felt as if they belonged. Before our day of observing was over, she had asked if she could please come to LCS. She was smiling and said this place is my kind of place. It's definitely been just that!
Today she is thriving, and she is truly enjoying herself. She loves to go to school, and she loves all of the teachers. She has made good friends and is blossoming in all areas of life. She's even started singing on stage during chapel. This has been the best decision we could have ever made as parents for our daughter. We are incredibly thankful for this opportunity in our hometown, and we truly appreciate that LCS offers grades K-12. How blessed we are to be a part of Litchfield Christian School. We look forward to many more amazing years here.
