Our Vision
To create a nurturing, inclusive, and forward-thinking learning sanctuary where homeschooled and neurodivergent children—especially those who don’t thrive in traditional school settings—can grow academically, emotionally, and socially.
We envision a space where every learner is empowered to discover their strengths, connect authentically with others, and develop the life skills they need to thrive—both in and beyond the classroom. We believe learning should be deeply personal, emotionally supportive, and rooted in trust, curiosity, and self-awareness.
Our Values
Kindness & Compassion
We speak and act with care, respect, and patience—creating space for vulnerability, growth, and mutual support.
Authenticity & Honesty
We value truthful expression and emotional integrity, encouraging children and adults to show up as they are—with mindfulness and openness.
Responsibility for Self
We foster self-awareness, self-regulation, and agency—empowering individuals to take ownership of their learning and contribution to the space.
Community & Collective Care
We maintain and honour our shared space through mutual respect, active participation, and a sense of belonging.
Collaboration & Peer Learning
We believe learning is a shared journey. Mentorship, asking for help, and reciprocal growth are embedded in everything we do.
Healing-Centred Education
We understand that education and healing are deeply connected. We hold space for both challenge and transformation—because emotional wellbeing is foundational to learning.
Our Mission
The Lighthouse Academy is not a school—it’s a supportive, structured environment designed to complement home-based and online learning journeys for children aged 9 to 18.
Through small group sessions, psychoeducational assessments, hands-on life skills, and healing-centred guidance, we help children feel seen, safe, and supported. Our approach blends academic structure with emotional growth, encouraging learners to take responsibility for their path while feeling deeply cared for along the way.
We partner with families to co-create personalised learning experiences, support emotional wellbeing, and cultivate the confidence and connection needed to navigate life with purpose and independence.
Creating a safe space where every child can thrive—academically, emotionally, and personally.
At The Lighthouse Academy, our mission is to reimagine education by honouring each child’s unique way of learning.
We provide the structure, support, and connection that homeschooling families need—empowering learners to grow with confidence, creativity, and purpose.
