Lighthouse Community Public School opened its door in 2002 with 92 Kindergartners and 6th graders. Now, it serves over 1,600 students on two campuses at Lighthouse Community Charter and Lodestar Community Charter. Today, we would like to focus on one of their campuses, Lighthouse Community Charter School, which started in Oakland with 92 students.
Our partnership at Lighthouse Community Charter has deepened through the years and now includes three wonderful Seneca Clinicians (KT Dvorsky, Mia Castillo and Anna Stofle) who work closely with the two amazing Lighthouse Clinicians hired through Lighthouse Community Public Schools and a creative and amazing Wellness Coach, Gladys Roseby. It’s a big school with a mighty team of caring individuals who work to cultivate a sense of belonging with students in order to help them feel seen, heard and held.
The Mission
“We believe that all young people have the potential to become lifelong changemakers who realize their unique vision - rooted in their identity, knowledge, and skills - to create equity in their own lives and in the community, leading to a healthier, more joyful world. We are an innovative model for public education that puts each child at the center of their own learning. The Lighthouse community is equal parts love and rigor where children discover their unique light within."
In our partnership, we have leaned in during moments of tragic loss as well as celebrations. The Seneca team has been able to work closely with our partners to support running grief circles and restorative justice circles to help process collective grief and cultivate spaces for being in community. This spring, our Seneca Clinician Anna Stofle is helping with the elementary school production of the Wizard of Oz! There is gratitude for the depth of the work at Lighthouse and each year, the partnership grows stronger.
Our Seneca Staff feel fully integrated into the school and oftentimes even school staff are unaware that they work under Seneca as they work so closely with the school. It speaks volume to the relationship that has cultivated over the years.
Check out the creative flair that our Wellness Coach, Gladys Roseby has added on campus!
