The mission of Lighthouse Community Charter School is to prepare a diverse K – 12 student population for college or a career of their choice by equipping each child with the knowledge, skills, and principles to be a self-motivated, lifelong learner. In order to achieve our mission, the Lighthouse Community Charter School has committed to five priorities in its school design:

• high expectations,
• a rigorous curriculum,
• serving the whole child,
• family involvement,
• and teachers as learners.
  

In addition, Lighthouse Community Charter School has created an innovative educational design that sets us part from traditional educational choices:

• We utilize low student to teacher ratios
• Students are engaged in hands-on, real world projects that integrate standards and subject areas.
• Literacy is a focus throughout the entire school and interwoven into every subject area.
• We commit more time to teaching and learning, with an extended day and extended year program.
• After school programs focus on tutoring and enrichment.
• Every child has an Individualized Learning Plan.
• Families are involved from volunteering to school governance to teaching and learning.
• Teachers are supported to be constant learners

Lighthouse Community Charter School is currently housed on two campuses:

We will be moving into our permanent home for the 2009-10 school year:
