Who We Are
LCA’s core values are reflected within the goals and objectives of our school. We believe it is our duty to create an environment of excellence where students feel safe, engage in critical thinking as they discern, and gain knowledge in each subject taught. Students will use God’s Word as a filter for all knowledge so they can become more Christ-like as they enter the world to become the contributors and influencers.

Our Philosophy
Lighthouse believes that all the Bible is true, that it provides a basis of reference for all academic subjects and is the only reliable guide for Christian living. Nothing will be taught that will offend Christ or is contrary to Biblical principles. We will strive to provide an excellent academic education and environment, using Christ-centered materials to encourage our children to develop spiritually, academically, physically, emotionally, and socially.
That does not mean all knowledge is found in the Bible, it is not a science or math book but it is our filter and instruction manual for what is taught, and when it does speak to topics it is 100% accurate.
It is our belief that through developing in our students a Biblical worldview, that they will be able to carry the light of Christ into a dark world and be willing, competent, and devoted leaders. Through this teaching they will develop a love for God, a love for country, and a true sense of their Christian heritage.
Parents have the primary responsibility for educating their children. We are in partnership with the family to assist in shaping a Christ-like view of truth and reality, and to instill a desire to live in obedience to God’s Word.
Personnel are the most important resource for effectively conducting a quality learning program. The program will function at its best when it employs highly qualified personnel who are in obedience to God, conducts appropriate staff development activities, and establishes policies and working conditions which are conducive to high morale and enable each staff member to make the fullest contribution to the school’s programs and services.
We believe Christian education contributes directly to the advancement of God’s kingdom and the communities in which we belong.
