Innovate Today – Lead Tomorrow
Business Centre of Excellence
I am proud to introduce our business centre of excellence (COE). Lighthouse is nurturing next generation of leaders, entrepreneurs, engineers, visionaries, tech pioneers, artists, educators and business owners which i believe is an essential skill in today’s economy. Our small class sizes lend themselves to fast paced learning in small teams, where students collaborate to solve problems.
Forefront in adapting our education
The world has changed with an ever growing online economy so we believe we are at the forefront in adapting our education towards project based learning to find, collate and present information. Students enjoy the ownership of project work and the creativity that goes into it. We mesh this project work with traditional education aimed at getting high grades for the Canadian Alberta diploma which is accepted at all universities worldwide.
Small class sizes & dynamic environment
With small class sizes, our students thrive in dynamic, fast-paced environments that encourage teamwork, problem solving, and critical thinking. The rise of the online economy means the world has changed, and so have we. Our project-based learning approach equips students with the ability to research, analyse, and present their ideas confidently—skills they will carry into the future.
Strong academic foundation
We seamlessly combine this modern, entrepreneurial focus with a strong academic foundation aimed at achieving high results in the Alberta (Canadian) Diploma Programme. An internationally recognised qualification that ranks in PISA international rankings above nearly all others and is accepted and esteemed by universities worldwide.
