Lighthouse Christian Academy, the distance-education provider of Accelerated Christian Education (A.C.E.), is pleased to announce a new program designed especially for all schools using the A.C.E. curriculum.
Lighthouse Christian Academy (LCA) has recently received accreditation from the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS) and the Commission on International and Trans-Regional Accreditation (CITA). All courses completed through LCA are fully accredited, which validates the quality of education provided to our students.
As a direct result of receiving accredited status, Lighthouse Christian Academy may now validate the education your students receive while attending your school. Through our new program, students who enroll in our Dual Enrollment Program may also receive the benefits of an accredited education.
Dual Enrollment Program: We believe that God has allowed Lighthouse Christian Academy to earn full accreditation with two widely recognized accreditation agencies for such a time as this. Lighthouse Christian Academy is offering each student attending an A.C.E. Model or Quality Status School the opportunity to receive an accredited transcript and diploma through participation in the LCA Dual Enrollment Program. Schools who have earned A.C.E. Model or Quality Status may begin this process by performing the following steps:
• Print and complete a dual enrollment student application for each student applying.
• Include the student's official transcript and annual dual enrollment fee.
• Send these documents to Lighthouse Christian Academy, postmarked or faxed by October 15.

Advantages: There are many advantages associated with accreditation.
• Transfer of Credits - Accreditation eases the transition of students as they move from one accredited
organization to another.
• Access to Programs and Scholarships - Accreditation aids students as they participate in
sports programs, apply for federal grants, or pursue admission to accredited colleges.
Enrollment Deadline: For accreditation purposes, each student seeking to enroll in this program will need to apply at the beginning of each school year. This will allow LCA to validate and walk through the entire academic year with them. Student applications must be postmarked or faxed by October 15 each year. LCA desires to ensure that there is plenty of time for the school to inform parents of this option and encourage them to see the benefits their students could gain from accreditation.
Graduation Requirements: We encourage you to view our Dual Enrollment Graduation Policy and
LCA Courses of Study before applying for the Dual Enrollment Program. High school students will be given a projected course of study based upon these requirements, which will place them on the right track to graduate with an accredited LCA Diploma.
At Lighthouse Christian Academy, we are committed to meeting the educational needs of our students and to help provide the tools necessary for their future success. If you have any questions or comments about this program, feel free to contact our Dual Enrollment Coordinator at 866-746-6534 or dualenrollment@aceministries.com. It would be a blessing to hear from you.
