We found the academics here to be sorely lacking, with very few materials or resources, limited instruction time for students, a curriculum that does not resemble the one promised, no record-keeping or progress reports, and minimal communication with parents. The Lower Elementary Head Teacher and Owner of the school refused to communicate with us and in fact treated us as a nuisance every time we attempted to ask her questions. When we expressed concern that our daughter in her first grade class was not learning to read, we were told that she must have a learning disability. We had her evaluated and no disability was found. We then discovered that this teacher/owner was actually leaving the classroom on a regular basis to go work out at the gym, and having the schoolâ€™s Office Manager (who has absolutely no experience or training) give our daughter lessons. When we expressed disapproval over this, we were met with anger. This is just one example out of many that led us to conclude that Lighthouse Academy is not what it pretends to be. After vocalizing our very real, very justified concerns, we felt mistreated and vilified by most of the administration. We found the owners, teachers, and administrative staff to be immature, unprofessional, and disinterested in improving what is a poorly run operation. We finally had no recourse but to pull our children out. We are filled with regret that we did not do our due diligence and better research whether this school has the proper accreditation and teacher-credentials to deliver what they promote. The truth is that Lighthouse Academy has no accreditation whatsoever. They operate as a for-profit business and therefore are not monitored or regulated by any governing agency, board of directors, or department of education. Furthermore, only a handful of the teachers here even have a college degree. A true Montessori method is used sparingly if at all. We know of SO MANY students who have left the school because their academic progress stagnated here. They were forced to repeat grades and make desperate attempts to catch up. This school fails children on a regular basis and simply couldn't care less about it. So very sad.

Water, water everywhere, but not a drop to drink? Not so in whisky production! Here's a playful dive into the scientific significance of water in crafting the spirit we all adore....
