Ohio -based LifeWise Academy organizes off-campus Bible classes for public school students.
The group says it will triple its programs in Indiana this fall after new legislation forced school districts to comply.
Critics in Indiana worry the programs spend public school resources on religion, proselytize to students of other faiths.
Public schools cannot promote any religion under the First Amendment .
LifeWise says it does not teach programs during classes such as math or reading, but rather during lunch, recess or electives including library, art or gym.
Children can attend for up to two hours a week under Indiana law.
Opponents say if only a handful of children are left at school, they may feel pressure to join.
