Our Story

Founded in 2001, Lighthouse Christian Academy is Kent Island’s classical Christian school with a charming Eastern Shore flavor. We work with a child’s natural inclination to be curiosity about the world around us, we work toward a serious standard of academic excellence, and fostering habits that form a diligent work ethic, all balanced with a sincere spirit and a heart of wonder.

Our ultimate goal as followers of Jesus is to love God and love others as we love ourselves and train up the next generation to do the same.

At Lighthouse Christian Academy, our mission is to cultivate students who know and love Jesus Christ, who embrace a life of integrity and joy, and who pursue wisdom with humility and wonder.

Through a Christ-centered Classical education, we shape hearts and minds to delight in the truth, goodness, and beauty of God’s world.

Our Mission

Our History

Lighthouse Christian Academy began as the result of prayerful, earnest seeking by a group of parents and local pastors desiring to establish an educational institution that would teach seeing the world through Kingdom perspective to their children and those in the community. After researching multiple educational philosophies, they decided to go in the direction of Classical Christian education methodology.  

Under the sponsorship of Island Alliance Church in Stevensville,  LCA opened its doors in September of 2001. For the first 10 years, Island Alliance served as the sponsoring church for the school and its campus. During these years, faithful commitment by the families, faculty, and administration established the foundation for student flourishing and community impact.

In the fall of 2012, Safe Harbor Presbyterian Church became the new home and sponsoring church for Lighthouse Christian Academy. Lighthouse continues to grow and flourish at its campus at Safe Harbor, offering an extraordinary Christian education that cultivates students’ hearts, minds, and souls to the glory of God.

Our Board of Directors is dedicated to protecting the mission and vision of Lighthouse and to ensuring its financial well-being during this season of growth and expansion as we continue to serve current and future families of our community.

Lighthouse Christian Academy is part of a growing movement of Classical Christian schools who are seeking to reform education in America. Lighthouse is a member in good standing of the Society for Classical Learning.
