Lighthouse Christian School is a private Christian school in florida's first coast area of jacksonville and orange park.
Lighthouse Christian School is designed for the child who sometimes learns differently.
Many Christian schools use college prep programs that are very fast paced.
This type of program can't be concerned about the student who falls behind.
Once a child is labeled as a failure in these programs it can have a very deep, long term, psychological impact on the child.
We believe that given the right opportunities academically, physically and spiritually every child can flourish.
