Welcome to Lighthouse Microschool: A Beacon for Bay Learning Space

Lighthouse Microschool offers a new way to "do school" that places the
student at the center of their own educational adventure by taking the
concentration off of testing and constant assessment and instead
EMPOWERING students to LEARN at their OWN PACE,

in the ways they learn the best, by focusing on their

INTERESTS and PASSIONS and encouraging
CREATIVE and INDIVIDUALIZED ways of displaying progress.

"Do not train children to learning by force and harshness, but direct them to it by what amuses their mind, so that you may be better able to discover with accuracy the peculiar bent of the genius of each." Plato.

​

"Personalized learning is not what is done to the learner or about tailoring the learning. It is about helping each learner to identify and develop the skills they need to support and enhance their own learning so that agency and self-advocacy can be realized." Kathleen McClaskey

"Learning happens in the minds and souls, not in the databases of multiple-choice tests." Sir Ken Robinson
