Lighthouse Community Public Schools
At Lighthouse Community Public Schools (LCPS), we believe an exceptional education brings out each child’s unique light and potential. Founded in 2002, LCPS operates two high-achieving K-12 public charter schools — Lighthouse and Lodestar — serving nearly 1,300 students in East Oakland. With a vision of transforming our community through creating a family of exceptional schools serving youth and families in Oakland, our mission is to prepare diverse students for college, a career of their choice, and to be lifelong changemakers. Grounded in our core values of community, integrity, agency, love, and social justice and rooted in the EL Education model, LCPS is a leader in fostering innovative schools achieving exceptional student outcomes where each child is at the center of their own learning. LCPS will continue to increase its impact as we grow to a third site, ultimately serving 2500 Oakland students and their families. LCPS exists to counter persistent educational inequity that threatens our collective future; a beacon for public education where each graduate fulfills the promise of a better, brighter Oakland.
