Students typically come to Lighthouse School having struggled in other settings; especially those with a more educational focus. These challenges go far beyond the classroom setting and may accurately be described as life challenges. Our primary objective is to help all students gain the insights and skills necessary to successful master all challenges in life: at school, at home and in the community. Lighthouse is a school. As a school, we conform to all of the regulations and expectations of every school in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Lighthouse School has operated under the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education as an approved private, not-for-profit 501(c )(3) school serving in excess of 100 communities in the states of Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Maine for over four decades. Over these years, Lighthouse School staff have worked diligently to develop effective technologies that address the needs of students and their families and the communities that Lighthouse School is so privileged to serve.
