About Lighthouse:

Situated on the tropical Island of Mauritius, Lighthouse began in 2009 with an aim to make a great, international-standard education available to families in Mauritius. It is a Christian school in ethos, vision, staff and curriculum, though its students come from various religious backgrounds represented in our country. The school is owned by a charitable trust and a significant number of its students benefit from scholarships to attend. French is taught as an important second language through daily lessons and incidental conversation. Lighthouse seeks to be highly inclusive, with a majority of Mauritian students and a diversity of socio-economic strata, culture and ability levels.

In 2015, Lighthouse expanded into secondary education, with an international curriculum taught from a Christian worldview, oriented toward the UK CIE diplomas.  We also put a high emphasis on student leadership, ecological awareness and outdoor education, and practical community service, with a view that our students will make an impact in their future societies.  In 2021, we celebrated our first graduating class.

Lighthouse teachers relish learning along with their students and being part of a highly cohesive group of teachers, as well as being an important part of an iterative curriculum development process. Caring, nurturing relationships with students and their families are also cultivated through home visits, special parent programs and good communication.  Our school continues to grow every year, necessitating more and more great educators.
