Lighthouse High School History
Purpose
Lighthouse High School, founded in 2003 in the city of Orlando Florida. The founder Dr. Ted Ridoré had a passion for literacy and a desire to help reduce the statistical students who had dropped out of formal High school due to circumstances in life. Dr. Ridore is determined against all odds the help those who are yet still have a burning desire to complete their High School education, earn it. Dr. Ridore’s zeal and desire to educate, inspire, and motivate people to learn was birthed out of his own life experience. He too, did not earn his HSD until much later in his age. He wants to make a difference, you can too!

“The U.S. Department of Education does not have the authority to accredit private or public elementary or secondary schools, and the Department does not recognize accrediting bodies for the accreditation of private or public elementary and secondary schools. However, the U.S. Department of Education does recognize accrediting bodies for the accreditation of institutions of higher (post-secondary) education. If an accrediting body which is recognized by the Department for higher education also accredits elementary and secondary schools, the Department’s recognition applies only to the agency’s accreditation of post-secondary institutions.
