Admissions

  3. Admissions

We are thankful for your consideration of Lighthouse Baptist School. LBS is being established as a University-Model School offering a hybrid homeschooling approach. Students will attend on campus instruction two-three days per week, with assignments provided for completion at home on the remaining days. The  program is designed to have teacher-led classes on-campus in addition to their home education routine. Our goal is to make homeschooling possible for more families by easing some of the pressure on parents.

We desire to combine the best aspects of traditional education with the best aspects of homeschooling, giving each student a balance of education and parental involvement with a strong, Christian foundation.

Contact Us

Contact us to find out more about our school. We will send you information and even schedule a visit to our campus to see it in person. We offer campus tours and days where your child may attend and shadow other students in their grade.

Review School Material

If you have talked with admissions and are interested in joining our school family, please review the Student Handbook.

Complete the Student Application Form

Once you have decided to apply, please complete the online application.

Testing and Evaluation

Once we have received the admissions packet, we will contact you. If you do not hear from us within 7 days, please contact us to make sure your application was received. Testing or previous records will be used to more appropriately place students in each course and in order that each family might better determine the comparative relationship between the student and LBS’s level of course work.

School Admission’s Family Interview

School admission is a one-time process that is handled by the admissions committee. The purpose of this meeting is to make certain that all of your questions about Lighthouse Baptist School have been answered and to make certain that LBS is the appropriate school for your family. Your admission forms will be given to the Admissions Committee. School personnel will call to arrange an interview. Parents and potential students must attend the interview.

Letter of Acceptance

After the interview process has been completed, each family will receive a letter from the school administrator. This letter will indicate the admission committee’s decision.

Enrollment and Family Training

Once accepted, you may enroll your child(ren).  Your family may need to attend a new family/co-teacher training to prepare for the upcoming school year.

Each student will be accepted into LBS based upon their previous academic, spiritual, and social records provided. All students seventh grade and older must regularly attend Lighthouse Baptist Church or another Baptist/Bible Church approved by the Pastor. Regularly attend is defined as attending at least four services per month.

Lighthouse Baptist School admits students of any race, color, nationality, and ethnic origin to all rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to all students at the school. It does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, nationality, or ethnicity in administration of its educational and admissions policies, scholarships, loan  programs, athletic, and other school-administered programs.

Standard Tuition Costs

We offer a ten-month payment plan. The tuition rates are as follows:

  • 1st Child – $400 per month
  • 2nd Child (sibling of first) – $325 per month
  • Each Additional Child (sibling of first and second) – $265 per month

If a student is present for any portion of a quarter, payment for that entire quarter is required.


Tremendous Value for a Quality Education

Lighthouse Baptist School is the most affordable Christian school in Pleasanton and surrounding East Bay cities. We strive to assist any financial needs and work hard at keeping costs as low as possible. We have established some ways to keep tuition costs even lower.


LBS offers a flat rate ‘tuition only’ of $4000 per school year for the first child.  Families with more than one child enrolled at LBS will receive a 15% ‘tuition only’ discount for the 2nd child enrolled and a 30% discount for the 3rd and additional children enrolled.

The tuition rates are as follows:

  • First Child—$40
  • Second Child—$32
  • Third Child—$26

This credit does not apply to those receiving other tuition assistance.

Lighthouse Baptist Church offers a 10% tuition credit for attending a certain number of services each month. The spiritual training of students is a high priority and focus.

To earn the LBC Attendance Credit, each student and a parent must attend a minimum of six church services each month. This credit will be applied on the next month’s billing statement.

The credit allotted will be as follows:

  • First Child—$40
  • Second Child—$32
  • Third Child—$28

This credit does not apply to those receiving other tuition assistance.
