Lighthouse Christian School is a ministry of Lighthouse Church. We believe in providing a Christian environment for children to learn in so they may be disciplined in the ways of the Lord. We strive to create a learning experience that is strongly based in academics but does not neglect the growth of the body and spirit of the child It is or hope that, like Jesus, our students will grow "in wisdom and stature, andin favor with God and men." (Luke 2:52).

- School Mascot: Seahawks
- We began in 2004, as a vision of our church and congregation to offer children a safe, quality elementary program that would nurture the spirit, mind and body of the child in a bilingual setting. We have since grown to include state-licensed child care from ages 2-12, a K4 program and Kindergarten through 7th grade. Since each child is unique and valuable, we strive to maintain small class sizes to offer individual attention, while at the same time promoting community through mixed-age group classes and activities. We believe that parents have the ultimate responsibility to educate their children, and we are the support system to help achieve that goal. Our families are very important to us and we rely on parent support and inclusion in all aspects of our program. We hope you will consider becoming a part of our family. God bless you!

Lighthouse has been a Godsend to my son and myself! All the staff we`ve worked with are committed to supporting the children not only academically but spiritually and emotionally as well. Not even 2 months into my son`s first year at LCS, staff suggested we start making accommodation for my son`s needs. The staff are supportive and knowledgeable of special needs and special circumstances. Communication is easy with staff. There are a lot of opportunities for students at LCS as well. This is not just a school. This is a community! They strive to support families in any way they can!
