Lighthouse Literacy Academy was created to meet the growing needs of San Diego’s
East County families who are searching for a wonderful alternative to public
school. We are a group of parents and educators with children between grades
Transitional Kindergarten and 9th grade. We ourselves grew up in East County
attending different elementary, Jr high and High schools around the community.
We come with various backgrounds from college degrees to countless ECE classes.
Some of us have a background in preschool education, some in homeschooling and
some in primary education. Lighthouse Literacy Academy is a Christian school
where children will experience God’s love in our morning Bible time and weekly
chapel as well as throughout the week as we learn to love God and each other
just as God commands us. We believe learning success is rooted in strong
literacy. We believe that literacy is the foundation for all learning success,
from the primary years, all through college and all of life. We believe a solid
ability to read well gives tremendously to whether or not an individual will
thrive throughout their lives. We believe that when a Pre-K student reads sight
words or a Kindergartener reads 3-7 word sentences, when a first or second
grader is reading full books they are paving their way to a bright future. At
Lighthouse Literacy Academy each and every child will be a successful reader
whether at grade level or beyond. When at Lighthouse Literacy Academy, a child
has reached her or his grade level expectations we don't sit back and celebrate,
we celebrate and begin the journey of even further progress, motivating,
facilitating and supporting each and every child right where they are
individually. Our small class sizes allow for one on one learning, community and
collaboration. Math, Science, Social Science, Arts, Physical education are not
secondary to literacy, but instead intertwined as we strongly believe anyone who
can read-well-can learn anything! Lighthouse Literacy Academy is an extension of
JUMP Preschool and Kindergarten. JUMP Preschool was established in 2008 for
children ages 2 years to Transitional Kindergarten then in 2012 the kindergarten
was added. Lighthouse Literacy Academy will have its first semester in January
2022 serving grades Transitional Kindergarten to third Grade.
