Career Pathways

Lighthouse Academy offers a robust Career Pathway program designed to prepare students for success after graduation. By partnering with various Programs and Universities, students graduate with a High School Diploma and an Associate degree or college credits.
High School students follow a braided curriculum of NAF, JAG, and JMG which focuses on the career development cycle until the end of 10th grade. At that time, students may choose one of 6 pathways.



Starting in their 11th year, students begin completing coursework for the selected Pathway. All classes are held on-site at Lighthouse Academy. Students who start the program but do not successfully complete the practicum will receive a certificate instead of Associate's Degree.
