Welcome to the Lighthouse Church School!
Our mission is to impact our community by cultivating excellence in children and students, training them to follow God’s ways, and guiding them toward maturity in Jesus Christ. Our vision is to see lives transformed by God and for God, renewing the world around them for Christ
Lighthouse History
In 1983, the leadership and parents of the Santa Monica Foursquare Church established the Lighthouse Church School as a Christ-centered alternative to traditional education. Their vision was to provide a learning environment rooted in biblical values—one that reflected the faith and principles upheld in their homes and church. Initially operating within the church facility, the school began as a church-based homeschool cooperative. Over time, Lighthouse Church School evolved into a fully developed private Christian school, expanding its reach beyond the church congregation to serve families throughout the broader community. Today, this vision has grown into the Lighthouse School Ministry (LSM)—a comprehensive educational system serving children from 3 months through 12th grade. All four schools operate as ministries of the Santa Monica Foursquare Church, located at 1220 20th Street. Since its founding, the Lighthouse School Ministry has remained committed to academic excellence, spiritual growth, and the highest moral standards.
Purpose Statement
The Lighthouse School Ministry exists to train children and students to follow the way established by the Word of God, as exemplified in the life of Jesus Christ. Our purpose and direction are rooted in a commitment to Christ-centered education that instills in children and students a Biblical worldview that equips them to live faithfully and boldly in today’s world. We envision lives transformed by God and for God—students who, by the renewing of their minds, become agents of truth, compassion, and restoration in their communities and beyond. This vision guides every aspect of our school’s identity, culture, and curriculum. In pursuit of our mission, we set high expectations for student success by cultivating: ● Christlike character ● Academic excellence ● Leadership rooted in humility and service ● Community impact ● A Biblical worldview integrated into every discipline Acknowledging the biblical truth that parents are the primary educators of their children, we seek to collaborate with families. It is our hope that the education, training, and discipline provided will strengthen and affirm the Biblical foundation already being laid at home.

He is a faithful minister of Christ on your behalf..."
