School Reviews

My daughter attended Lighthouse through 8th grade, and now my granddaughter attends. They say it takes a village to raise a child, and I can honestly say, this is a village! The staff is genuinely interested in the mental and academic state that your child is in. Staff has stepped in for both of my girls when emergencies or personal problems arose. They not only teach your children academics, but they plant Godly seeds that I have seen returned! My daughter also went through three years of Christian high school, but she wanted to see what it was like to attend public school, so her high school graduation took place at the public high school. She flew through that last year, stating how easy it was, and I attribute that to the high standards that private Christian school afforded her!
