Our Mission is to build our community and our families, and to secure our liberties through education. Our faith in the Creator is our foundation. We are committed to allowing children to thrive in an environment that fosters moral character, a love of learning, creativity and fun that leads to youth who value and take responsibility for their own education and self-governance. To achieve these goals, we work together as parents and mentors. Leading by example, we use great literature and a variety of rich learning environments. We build our community and our families by instilling values of goodness and joy, helping each member fulfill their divine potential.

Section 1.4 Leadership Education Leadership Education is God-centered, family-based, and agency-driven. It utilizes mentors, classics, and the study of principles to develop an individual's unique genius.

Section 1.5 Scope of Practice Lower Lights is a voluntary association of families engaged in the pursuit of a Leadership Education. Families meet weekly to participate in Junior School classes, Scholar Projects, and Parent Program classes. Lower Lights is purposefully designed to supplement and enhance what takes place in the home. It is not intended that the full range of a child's education should come from classes offered at Lower Lights. The aim is to use our time together to inspire students to become self-directed learners who take ownership of their education. Parents are ultimately responsible for facilitating their child's full plan of education. Each semester should contain no less than 14 weeks to allow for completion of the Scholar Projects.
