About The Position

About Lighthouse Community Charter Public Schools Founded in 2002, Lighthouse Community Charter Public Schools operates a high-achieving K - 12 public charter school, Lighthouse, serving 750 students in East Oakland. With a vision of transforming our community through powerful, life-changing education, Lighthouse will increase its impact in East Oakland as we open two new schools serving low-income students and their families— the first, Lodestar, in 2016. Because we believe that education has the power to lift generations out of poverty, our mission is to prepare students for college and career of their choice. We believe that all students must be held to high expectations and engaged in rigorous curriculum, families and the school must work together to serve the whole child, and that teachers must be constant learners. Lighthouse exists to counter the dismal education trends for low-income students and students of color in Oakland, where the dropout rate is 25%. Lighthouse is a model for what a high quality community school looks like, as our results can testify. 95% of our graduates are accepted to four-year colleges.
