Get to know us
A warm greeting from us to Lighthouse Academy!
At Lighthouse Academy, we're not just another online school—we're a beacon of hope and inspiration for students seeking a personalised and exceptional education experience. Although establishing Qatar's first British educational consultancy academy only recently in June 2024 by Samuel Gjerding Mott and Harry White, their journey began much longer ago. The founders paths converged in 2012 at the University of St. Marks and St. John in the picturesque county of Devonshire, where they embarked on our educational journey together. United by their dedication to shaping young minds, they forged a friendship grounded in a shared mission: to empower students to navigate the seas of education with confidence and purpose.
Samuel Mott, former head of Gifted & Talented at King's College, found inspiration in leading gifted and talented students to reach their full potential. It was during this time that the metaphorical light bulb illuminated—a lighthouse symbolising guidance, leadership, and the promise of a brighter future.
Joining them on this journey is Chris Jones and other dedicated members of the team, whose wealth of expertise and commitment brings Lighthouse Academy’s vision to life. Together, they create a community that provides high-quality education and unwavering support for students, guiding them toward achieving their dreams. Lighthouse Academy isn’t just an academy; it’s a shared mission to help students reach their full potential and illuminate their future paths.
Lighthouse Academy stands as a testament to our collective vision. Our online platform offers three branches of education, each tailored to meet the unique needs of every student:
Homeschool Curriculum: We understand that every child learns differently. That's why our homeschool curriculum provides flexibility, allowing students to learn at their own pace while receiving the support they need to thrive.
Gifted and Talented Programme: Drawing from Samuel's expertise in nurturing gifted individuals, our programme offers advanced coursework and enrichment opportunities designed to challenge and inspire students to reach new heights of academic excellence.
Academic Support Services: Whether it's mastering a difficult subject or preparing for standardised tests, our experienced tutors are here to provide personalised support and guidance, ensuring that every student achieves their academic goals.
At Lighthouse Academy, the lighthouse symbolises more than just a guiding light—it represents the unwavering commitment to excellence, the beacon of hope that illuminates the path to success for our students. Just as a lighthouse stands tall amidst turbulent seas, we stand firm in our dedication to fostering a community where every student feels empowered to shine bright and reach for the stars.
Join us at Lighthouse Academy, where education meets inspiration, and together, we'll light the way to a brighter future.
