Welcome
to Lighthouse International School!
It is said that we are educating students today for careers that do not yet exist. Therefore, it is imperative that we offer them the tools to face an ever-changing world in a confident and effective way. Our vision is to offer the rising generation a comprehensive academic foundation, a broad worldview, and a moral compass that will guide them personally and enable them “to give back to the world with intelligence, confidence, integrity, and kindness.”
We offer
your child a whole-person approach to education: spiritual, academic, social, and physical.
Our International educational program within a Christian-values learning environment was designed to provide families with a strong ally and partner in the raising of well-rounded citizens.
You are cordially invited to explore this website and contact us for a personal visit, to find out just how your student can grow into the person they are intended to be.
