Special Programs

Chapel

Every Friday the Lighthouse Church School has chapel. This is a time where the entire school collectively has a Bible lesson and illustration (often performed by the older students), worship, and presentation of certificates for outstanding weekly achievements.

Buddy Program

The Buddy Program is a favorite of the younger children. Each year older students are assigned to younger students in a mentoring program. The students make an effort to play together at recess, read books and go on Buddy outings.

Teacher Bios

Kindergarten

Mrs. Kari Czer is the quintessential Kindergarten teacher. She is an avid supporter that children are delicate flowers that need gentle tending and nurturing. Music is a hallmark of her teaching style, allowing early lessons to take root. Her melodic delivery is appreciated by her novice pupils. With seven children of her own, Mrs. Czer is accustomed to the steady march of “gossilings” following behind her.


1st and 2nd Grade 

Mrs. Shuvonne Symonds, along with Mrs. Sohear Gabrail are a dynamic pair of teachers in our first and second grade class. They integrate fun into every facet of teaching something their spirited students welcome. From edible art to science projects that explore the wonder of creation; children develop a love of learning that will remain with them throughout their schooling.


3rd and 4th Grade 
Mrs. Kathy Payton takes the award for the longest-teaching instructor at the Lighthouse Church School. Third and fourth grade are transitory years when children are absorbing a wealth of new information; Mrs. Payton is especially adept at helping children who may find the material challenging. Her calming voice and kind demeanor are reasons that former students praise her.


5th and 6th Grade
Mrs. Willette Lever and Mrs. Corrita Concon team teach fifth and sixth grade. Their combined talents give our students an academic boost in each course. They teach the foundational aspects of all subjects with practical and intriguing data sprinkled throughout. Together, they collaborate on projects that enrich creativity and promote a solid infrastructure as they transition to middle school.


7th and 8th Grade 
Mr. Daniel Sommer is an alumnus of the Lighthouse Church School. Students will find that engaging Mr. Sommer in any subject will be peppered with humor —  a cornerstone of his approachability. While receiving solid instruction in all lessons; eighth graders are engaged in university-style discussion, heightening the learning process.
