Academics

Lighthouse Christian Academy currently hosts 269 students in grades PreK-12. [2] At school, each student participates in a distinct, Bible-based curriculum designed to achieve the goals laid forth in the school mission statement, "to develop each child's Christ-like character, intellectual ability, and physical health for the glory of God." [3] In early elementary, students are instructed in topics ranging from Language Arts classes to Math and Science. Special classes in elementary school include Music, Art, and P.E. [4] The middle-school provides a smooth transition from elementary school into high-school, with special classes changing to electives. The middle and high schools boast choir, band, and art (including photography) electives.

Lighthouse Christian Academy seeks an entirely Bible-based approach to instruction. While all students attend Bible classes throughout the entirety of their education, each class is instructed from a Christian perspective.

Controversy

National

Lighthouse Christian Academy has recently come under fire regarding their admissions policy. [5] [6]

Rep. Katherine Clark, D-Massachusetts, cited Lighthouse Christian Academy's enrollment brochure, which states that the private school can refuse admission or discontinue enrollment of a student living in a home environment that includes 'homosexual or bisexual activity' or 'practicing alternate gender identity'. [7]

Parents are free to choose which school best comports with their religious convictions ... For a real choice and thus real liberty to exist, the government may not impose its own orthodoxy and homogenize all schools to conform to politically correct attitudes and ideologies.

— a statement issued by spokesman Brian Bailey on behalf of the academy. [8]
