Let the school know you're thinking of applying — they can share their prerequisites and help you through the process.
It's best to ask — circumstances can change at any time.
1. Start by submitting an online enquiry or applying through the Lighthouse Online Application Portal. The Online Enquiry form is available from the site, and the online application portal begins the admissions process. This step connects families with the admissions team to begin the enrollment sequence.
2. Provide the required documents through the online application: Birth Certificate, passport-size photo, formal grade reports from the last two years, and diagnostic or specialised assessment reports. These documents are requested as part of the application process to establish eligibility and placement.
3. The school reviews applications and determines grade placement in collaboration with families; class placement is decided with parents upon admission. Admissions decisions and placement are made with parental input to ensure a good fit for the student.
4. Admissions occur on an ongoing basis throughout the academic year; joining at the start of the year is preferable, but new students are welcomed whenever there is an open seat. Spaces are filled as they become available, allowing for flexible entry during the year.
Lighthouse offers scholarships to provide access to quality education regardless of family income. As of July 2025, there are 52 scholarship students across Primary and Secondary, about 9% of the school body, funded by school funds and donors. Scholarships are not blanket 100% grants; each application is assessed according to the family's financial position, and renewals consider the student's academic record, attendance, and behaviour. Applications are reviewed annually; families must demonstrate ongoing financial need and continued fit with the school's ethos, and parents of scholarship students participate in school life.
Situated in Calebasse, Mauritius, Lighthouse Primary and Secondary School is a private day school with a Christian worldview that emphasises experiential learning. The primary program follows the British National Curriculum integrated with the International Primary Curriculum (IPC). English is the first language; French is taught as an additional language.

The school offers a pathway with 11 subjects in grades 7–9, eight examinable subjects in grades 10–11, narrowing to four subjects in grades 12–13. Biblical Studies and Physical Education are compulsory. The campus sits on a learning site adjacent to a forest and river, opened in 2017 as a single learning neighbourhood for pre-primary through secondary learners. The school is registered with the Mauritian Ministry of Education and affiliated with IPC, ACSI, and Cambridge Examinations centre.
