About LightMaker Academy

LightMaker Academy is a classical Christian homeschool co-op serving families in Wake Forest, North Carolina. We believe that education is not merely the transfer of information, but the cultivation of wisdom, virtue, and a love for truth.

Our approach combines the time-tested classical model—emphasizing grammar, logic, and rhetoric—with a distinctly Christian worldview. We recognize that all truth is God's truth, and we seek to help students discover how every subject points to the Creator.

Through rich literature, thoughtful discussion, hands-on learning, and community engagement, we partner with families to develop students who think critically, communicate clearly, and live purposefully in light of their faith.

Our Educational Philosophy

The Whole Person

We educate the whole person—mind, heart, and soul. Academic rigor is essential, but so is character formation, spiritual development, and the cultivation of wonder and delight in God's creation.

The Great Conversation

Students engage with the great books and great ideas that have shaped Western civilization. We read primary sources, ask hard questions, and learn to think deeply about what is true, good, and beautiful.

The Trivium Method

Following the classical tradition, we structure learning around the developmental stages of the Trivium: Grammar (knowledge foundation), Logic (critical thinking), and Rhetoric (elegant expression and persuasion).

Biblical Integration

Scripture is not merely one subject among many—it is the lens through which we understand all subjects. We help students see how mathematics displays God's order, how history reveals His sovereignty, and how literature reflects His story.
