Lighthouse Baptist Academy is committed to helping students achieve academic excellence in all disciplines and to providing students with the instruction and guidance they need to realize their own potential.
We believe that a child's education must aim for the total person academically, spiritually, morally, and physically.
We also believe that a Christ centered curriculum and academic excellence can coexist.
At LBA, our curriculum is developed to provide students with the best possible program of studies.
We are a Christian school conveniently located in Theodore, Alabama to best serve the mobile and gulf coast region.
