Lighthouse Private Christian Academy Navarre FL (LPCA) is fully accredited by the prestigious Christian Schools of Florida. We are also a Gold Seal provider with the state of Florida.
Our commitment is to provide quality education while assisting families in fostering their child’s spiritual development. We seek to provide a learning environment with loving, positive teachers that reinforce Christian principles. In combination with a Christian instructional curriculum, we give students the opportunity to experience hands-on learning and pursue their own open-ended research.
We have given the students the perfect environment for this type of “hyrbrid learning” as our school is located inside of the ZOO of Northwest Florida. We also have a beautiful preschool, founded on the same principles, that is located within walking distance of the Zoo.
LPCA’s approach provides a unique educational balance: structured curriculum interwoven with child-directed learning and firsthand observation. For example, although the children follow a schedule and curriculum as they would in a more traditional school, for part of each day, they can also watch chicks hatch, pet a camel or work with a biologist on learning about coral preservation.
The school focuses on strong, focused academics in the first 1/2 of the day. However, after lunch, the children can choose among various learning centers, whereby hands-on enrichment are used to teach lessons. On Wednesdays, the children have an animal encounter and are taken on a train ride throughout the beautiful acreage of the Zoo. On this day of the week, we concentrate on zoology, biology, geography, and a special Chapel time with a focus on appreciating God for the wonderful land and animals. It is a one-of-a-kind type of school environment that teaches children to respect and preserve our planet.
We believe in keeping our children happy while learning. After all, they are only this age for a short while. Because of the success that we have seen at LPCA, I will ensure that it continues to grow with our children.
We have openings for vpk, kindergarden and grades 1-5.
