Join the Circle. Shine the Light!The Light Preparatory Academy sits in the heart of a community that has historically been underinvested in, yet filled with brilliance, promise, and possibility. Our children deserve more than basic access. They deserve excellence.TLPA is preparing for an exciting season of growth.

It requires prepared spaces, excellent materials, safe environments, and learning experiences worthy of our students.
