INVESTING OPPORTUNITY
BUILDING OUR FUTURE TOGETHER
Lighthouse School is more than just a place of learning, it’s also a vibrant, resilient community where every scholar and family is welcomed and supported. Our students bring a wealth of backgrounds and experiences.

28%

55%

10%

Together, we celebrate the unique strengths that each individual brings to our community.​
We’re excited to announce the completion of a 7,000-square-foot expansion. This project has allowed us to:
-
Add two new classrooms, supporting 20 students each,
-
Create a dedicated classroom for artistic education,
-
Build a teacher and staff lounge and learning center,
-
Establish a multipurpose community room for 100+ guests to gather, celebrate, and learn together.
Classrooms were filled to capacity, staff worked in makeshift office spaces, and our lunchroom doubled as an art and community room. This expansion has provided the space our scholars, families, and educators need to thrive.
​We’ve raised just over 92% of our $2 million goal to fully fund this project. Your support, at any level and in any form, will help us open our doors wider to more children and families, and strengthen the foundation for generations to come.
​Every gift makes a difference. Your generosity will create opportunities, nurture talents, and help build a school where every child can shine.
