True to our uncompromising focus on preparing every student for college, we have extended our school year (to 190 days) and school day (to 8 hours).
Lighthouse Academies uses a variety of assessments and data tools to inform instruction, identify areas of growth and increase student achievement throughout the network.
(The main sources of data are [1] interim assessments based on Common Core standards, [2] state assessments, [3] NWEA Measures of Academic Progress [MAP] / Primary Grades Assessment [PGA] and [4] curricular assessments aligned with state and Common Core standards.)
To accommodate different learning styles, classroom instruction includes a mix of whole-class, small group and individual work.
Social Development
Lighthouse Academies believes that attention to social/emotional and soft skills development is as importunate as the academic curriculum. We support our scholars in their capacity to engage collaboratively, be disciplined in their academic and personal pursuits and contribute in meaningful ways to their community.
Steering the Social Development of our school communities are the five character traits of our SHINE (Self-Discipline, Humility, Intelligence, Nobility, Excellence) program and the supporting actionable skills known as our Habits of Scholars. Together these attributes and actions foster excellent work among staff and students, and inspire meaningful contribution to the learning community.
