Lighthouse Christian Academy utilizes the Accelerated Christian Education curriculum which is built upon the following five basic laws of learning:

• Students must be at levels where they can perform
• Reasonable goals must be set
• Students must be controlled and motivated
• Learning must be measurable
• Learning must be rewarded

From its beginning in 1970, the Accelerated Christian Education curriculum has held to the following goals:

• A solid back-to-basics educational program
• A course of study individualized to meet a child's specific needs and learning capabilities
• A program incorporating goal setting, character building, and wisdom principles
• A curriculum using available advanced computer technology to help ensure the finest education possible in today's high-tech climate

One significant result from adhering to these goals is that students score higher than their counterparts in conventional programs using the same standardized achievement tests.

Whether the student is a high achiever or a moderately paced learner, the Accelerated Christian Education educational process proceeds at the exact level determined by the child's ability.

Individualization makes it possible for each student to master the subject before moving on. Such mastery is the foundation upon which all future learning is built.

Individualization produces academic excellence. Students take responsibility for their own learning. Biblical character training received as part of this learning experience prepares students to welcome and accept challenges and future opportunities that come their way.

Biblical values and concepts considered foundational to relationships and productive living are conveyed throughout the curriculum in such a way as to become life-shaping influences.
