Campus Information

Lighthouse Education Center combines the freedom and flexibility of homeschooling with the quality of private education. 

We focus on family connection that respects personal choices, medical freedom, and independent thinking.

Why Families Choose Lighthouse:

Family Centered

We’re more than an education center — we’re a close-knit community where everyone knows each other and every student is seen, known, and supported.

Medical Freedom

Families maintain the right to make personal health choices for their children without pressure or mandates.

Faith Neutral

Our curriculum focuses on strong academics and positive character development — free from gender education, sex education, or CRT.

Patriotic Environment

We honor the values of faith, family, and freedom. Students learn appreciation for our country and the responsibilities of good citizenship.

Small Class Sizes

With a low student-to-instructor ratio, each learner receives personalized attention and guidance that meets their individual needs.

Flexible Scheduling

Designed with families in mind, our scheduling options allow for balance between academics, extracurriculars, and home life.

Values Driven

(Optional) – For families trying to build a deeper connection, we offer optional enrichment opportunities that encourage students to explore purpose, kindness, and community through a values-centered lens.

Charter Funds We Accept:

B.E.S.T. Academy
Granite Mountain
Sky Mountain
Sage Oak 

*Charter funds can be applied to class fees.
