My son is currently attending Lighthouse, and has for the past 11 years. I really can put into words my gratitude for the love, support, and development that Lighthouse has had on my son, and our family. I usually do not ever leave reviews, but when there is substantial negativity, personal attacks, and attempts to destroy this school in the court of public opinion, I could not stay quite. When we found this school, my son's life changed for the better. Lighthouse Academy is a good place, with owners and teachers who actually care and allow your child to grow individually, with their own abilities, and on their own terms.

As a current student of lighthouse academy, I can't say I have any complaints. I have been going to this school for 9 years and I have experienced every single classroom. Every class was filled with love, joy and kindness. Throughout my life at lighthouse, I felt safe and cared for. I highly recommend this school because of its fun, safe environment and the memories you make everyday! The teachers are incredibly helpful and have taught me so much. I honestly wouldn't be the person I am today without them and this school. The Bible classes of the adolescent program (lead by Scott mcclung) have to be my favorite part of the day. It's very fascinating to learn about the different parts of the Bible and having the ability to share our own thoughts. I have learned a lot more about Christ due to these classes. Overall the education is amazing! The work is created by all of the teachers who put their blood sweat and tears into it. I have been overwhelmed with work sometimes, due to lack of motivation, and the teachers have lifted me up and helped me through it with kindness, understanding and patience. All of the reviews below (negative) have made me giggle because of the amount of lies. The playground at lighthouse is incredibly beautiful. It is very simple with: a basketball court, soccer field, swing sets, Gaga ball pit, and a stage. The children at lighthouse have the ability to express their creativity by building forts and shops throughout the play ground as well as creating connections with one another by sport activities. Overall, I would highly recommend sending your children here.

If I could give zero stars, I would. We were promised a caring, and enriching environment with Montessori trained and certified instructors. We got that... at first. The K/1 classroom was fantastic.. until the owners pushed the only 2 loving and certified teachers out, and brought unqualified substitues in, while also stretching the other staff even thinner than they already were. The owner had zero clue about who the students and parents were, which if you claim to be dedicated to your school and the families that attend, you should probably meet them, especially since the school was so small. Stacie gave me the ick with one run in. She made me uneasy and my 5 year old was afraid of her from the get go. Both owners seem to have let greed and power get to their heads while also flaunting off THEIR version of Christ. Scott tried rejecting our letter when pulling our daughter out mid year, leading us to get a lawyer involved to show them that they have broken the contract we signed. They are cunning and deceptive, preying on vulnerable families who just want the best education and environment for their children. I wouldn't trust these two "Christ followers" with children in general. 0/10 do not risk your child's safety and education to send them here. We switched to public school and my child is THRIVING now.

Title: An Illuminating Experience at Lighthouse Academy of Fredericksburg: A Glowing 5-Star Review I recently had the pleasure of enrolling my child at Lighthouse Academy of Fredericksburg, and I must say, the experience has been nothing short of exceptional. As a discerning parent, I did thorough research before choosing a Montessori school, and I am thrilled to share my glowing 5-star review for Lighthouse Academy. From the moment we walked through the doors, the warm and inviting atmosphere set the tone for what turned out to be an illuminating educational journey for my child. The school's commitment to fostering a love of learning is evident in every aspect of their approach. One of the standout features of Lighthouse Academy is the dedicated and highly qualified staff. The teachers are not only well-trained in the Montessori philosophy but also genuinely passionate about nurturing each child's unique potential. Their ability to create a nurturing and engaging environment has made a significant impact on my child's academic and social development. The classrooms at Lighthouse Academy are carefully designed to stimulate curiosity and encourage independent exploration. The materials used are not only age-appropriate but also thoughtfully selected to promote hands-on learning. The emphasis on self-directed activities has allowed my child to develop a strong sense of responsibility and confidence in their abilities. What truly sets Lighthouse Academy apart is its commitment to individualized learning. The teachers take the time to understand each child's strengths, challenges, and interests, tailoring the curriculum to meet their specific needs. This personalized approach has resulted in my child thriving academically and developing a genuine love for learning. The school's communication with parents is exemplary. Regular updates, parent-teacher conferences, and open lines of communication have kept me well-informed about my child's progress. The transparency and collaboration between the school and parents create a supportive community that contributes to the overall success of the students. Beyond academics, Lighthouse Academy places a strong emphasis on character development and social skills. The school's commitment to fostering a sense of community and kindness among students has had a positive influence on my child's interpersonal skills and emotional intelligence. The extracurricular activities offered at Lighthouse Academy are diverse and enriching. From art and music to physical education, my child has had the opportunity to explore various interests, further enhancing their overall development. In conclusion, I wholeheartedly recommend Lighthouse Academy of Fredericksburg to any parent seeking a top-tier Montessori education for their child. The school's unwavering dedication to academic excellence, individualized learning, and character development make it a shining beacon in the realm of early childhood education. My family and I are grateful for the positive impact Lighthouse Academy has had on our child's educational journey, and we look forward to many more years of enlightenment at this outstanding institution.

My 4 children have thrived at Lighthouse. Two of my children graduated and are in the college of their choice. One graduated with honors and one is currently on Honor Roll. They received an amazing academic foundation by an intense curriculum, loving teachers and a very well run administration. My other two children are doing exceptionally well and are very, very happy. All of my children feel safe, loved and encouraged. Thank you Lighthouse for bring a true light to my family.
