School Notes

  • Lighthouse Christian School is a ministry of Lighthouse Christian Fellowship and was founded in 1979. The School consist of a Pre-School, Elementary, and Middle/High School. The school's academic program is accredited by the Tennessee Association of Christian Schools and is a Category II State Agency approved school. Lighthouse Christian School Exists to glorify God by offering a Christ-centered, quality education that assists parents in training their children to be disciples of Jesus Christ. School is an institution set up by man for the education and training of our children. A school should provide both an environment and a curriculum conducive to effective learning. As a Christian school, it is our responsibility to build Christian character in our students. We believe that there is a natural need for well-defined boundaries governing their behavior. The teacher in the classroom is the authority and must be upheld and respected by the students and their parents. We expect our students to be honest and to exercise personal initiative in class work and homework.

School Reviews

Haven't been any happier with a school. The most amazing teachers that just love, and care for your child. They love teaching and it shows when the child runs into the classroom every morning or talks about school on the weekend. My youngest was struggling with so many things at the beginning of the year, with behavior and what she knew, to now knowing so many things I didn't even know she would learn and her behavior has done so much better. This school goes above and beyond to keep the children wanting to learn and get closer to God. Really wouldn't recommend any other place but this one <3
