The Lighthouse Learning Center, located at 1035 Dixie Drive, Clute, Texas, is the principle center for alternative educational programming in the Brazosport Independent School District.

Mission Statement

The mission of the Lighthouse Learning Center is to provide hope with educational opportunities designed to meet student’s diverse social and academic needs in a structured but compassionate learning environment. The Lighthouse meets the unique emotional and social needs of students through counseling creating self-worth, personal goal setting, and behavioral interventions. Instrumental to our mission is creating an atmosphere that empowers students to create attitudes of tolerance and respect and to recognize the need for becoming men and women of good character in our society.

Programs currently available to the students at the Alternative Placement Center are:

DAEP – (Disciplinary Alternative Education Program) Secondary education for at-risk secondary students (grades 7-12) with long-term suspensions or assignments by secondary campuses across the District.

Level Cards

The “level card” system is the record used by the LLC staff each day to log student behavior and academic achievement. The evaluative record allows the staff to track student progress daily and students to earn move privileges while assigned to the Lighthouse. There are four levels of cards with “red” the lowest, followed by “yellow” which is the level that all students begin on, up to “green” for students who do well the majority of the time, to “gold” students who exhibit exemplary conduct and academic achievement.
