Finding the Right Fit for Your Child

At The Lighthouse Academy, we honor each learner’s unique journey. Every child enrolled with us must be registered with an external online learning platform and we’re here to help you choose the one that best matches your child’s needs, learning style, and goals.
Below is a snapshot of some of the most trusted platforms our families use, along with the key features that make each one special.
