Parent / Student Handbooks are now ready!!
Following the devastation of the “Camp” Fire that swept through the towns of Paradise and Magalia, California, all schools were closed for nearly a year. One victim of the fire was the Cornerstone Christian School. Located at 6500 Clark Rd. in Paradise, the First Baptist Church was no longer able to reconstruct the school staff, student body, or facilities. Upward International Schools stepped in and opened the newly formed Lighthouse Academy.
Lighthouse Academy serves elementary students in grades Kindergarten – 5th (Grades 6-12 are located at Pines Academy Campus in Magalia). Meeting the needs of Christian families and fire survivors is extremely important to our staff and families. The emotional needs of each student and family are taken into consideration on a daily basis. Each family finds itself in similar yet different circumstances.
