In Sarasota, Florida

Introducing LICA!

Lighthouse International Christian Academy was launched in the fall of 2024 by four Sarasota families representing eight students in grades K-6.  Their mission was:  Create a Bible-based, principle-approach school with traditional values and rigorous academic standards in a nurturing, creative, Christ-centered environment. 

LICA borrows from and integrates best practice educational approaches from a number of respected Christian curricula. LICA emphasizes the basics, including reading, phonics, critical thinking, math and science problem-solving, Bible study, history, geography, but also exposes our students to music, modern foreign language, world cultures, and more. 

Our objective is to equip LICA graduates with a comprehensive foundation, empowering them to serve Christ in all aspects of their lives—whether through advanced education, professional careers, entrepreneurship, self-employment, global missions, or family life.
