Live School is taught on-site at a local church or in a living room. It trains and disciples nationals to become leaders and missionaries. It is ideal to use in a "closed" country. The material was designed by an international coalition of mission trainers under the leadership of Dr. Bill Taylor and is taught by practitioners from various parts of the world. The lectures and course material consist of 240 hours recorded on 93 DVD's.

People can gather in small groups so they are not easily noticed. The classes can be held in a small room or in a living room. Each school is conducted by an on-site facilitator appointed by a local church or recognized leader and trained by Live School personnel. The Live School curriculum has been accredited by the South African Theological Seminary (SATS).

Live School is an outcome-based curriculum that is portable, affordable, and appropriate for many socio-economic levels. It focuses on the individual's spiritual health and character development, on Biblical teachings, on cross-cultural ministry, and on community upliftment. Live School has been translated into Russian, Swahili  and Arabic and is currently being rolled out in various countries of southern Africa, East Africa, West Africa, South America, India (in English) the Former Soviet Union and is at the beginning stages of being rolled out in the Arab world.

Since Live School trains local nationals, there are no or few cultural and language barriers to overcome, and the teaching is conducted where a foreign person may not be welcome. Nationals already have an sphere of influence, a support base, and are in a position to work toward church planting and community development.

The uniqueness and strategy of Live School is its vision to train trainers, who in turn will train others, often living in difficult places, to become leaders of house churches.
