SERVICES

Know Our Services

In Lighthouse we offer a great variety of services, we invite you to know each one of them.

PSYCHOLOGY

At Lighthouse we believe that student´s classroom teachers have the wisdom and authority to deal with discipline, social conflicts, emotions, and other significant situations, on an individualized basis.

But occasionally the student requires extra support from our psychologist to find effective solutions to learning, emotional and behavior difficulties. Our staff psychologist is a licensed professional who also collaborates with teachers in the development and implementation of classroom methods and procedures designed to facilitate student learning and to overcome learning and behavior disorders with a Christian focus.

She also develops and promotes programs of tolerance and respect between all the members of the school.

LEARNING SUPPORT PROGRAM

No one student is alike, and differentiated instruction is needed to ensure all students are given the opportunity to learn.

Students with special needs are supported by a team of devoted professionals who provide additional coaching and reinforcement in second language acquisition and academic accommodations.

Our support teachers are important contributors to the team of dedicated professionals that care for our students during their learning process.

INFIRMARY

The school nurse is a registered professional certified who strengthens and facilitates the educational process by improving and protecting the health status of children. The major focus of school nursing services is the prevention of illness and disability, and the early detection and correction of health problems. Our school nurse is uniquely qualified in preventive health, health assessment, and referral procedures.
