"What sets Lighthouse Connections Academy apart?"
Families choose Lighthouse Connections Academy because they trust us to give their children a unique, personalized school experience where students can learn and grow.
Lighthouse Connections Academy provides a complete, full-time education for children—one that includes all the core courses, electives, and social opportunities K‒12 students need. Our Michigan-certified teachers specialize in online learning and work with parents. Together, they set individual goals and ensure that students learn. Lighthouse Connections Academy prepares children for a bright future—whether that includes college, technical training, or career readiness.
"As a Learning Coach, what should I expect?"
Learning Coaches are responsible for structuring their child’s school day, a task made simple with our online scheduling tool. You will also monitor attendance, stay in touch with teachers by phone or email and provide one-on-one support with learning activities. However, the specifics of your role will shift as your child grows older and gains more independence.
"Is Lighthouse Connections Academy Homeschooling?"
Although Lighthouse Connections Academy and homeschooling have some similar attributes, Lighthouse Connections Academy is not homeschooling. Lighthouse Connections Academy provides a defined set of curriculum materials that have been specifically aligned to local standards and use certified teachers to evaluate student performance, including decisions concerning the child’s grade-level promotion. All students are required to take state standardized tests, and the school is accountable to regulatory authorities for the students’ performance.
"What is a typical day like?"
Lighthouse Connections Academy students often lead busy lives, and our online flexibility allows for learning when it works best. Students will need to be available for teacher-led LiveLesson® sessions, but are able to choose how to arrange their free time in between. For some students, scheduling breaks in between lessons may be the answer to optimized learning. For others, leaving time for extracurricular activities is key.
