The Coalition of Lighthouse Schools
The Coalition of Lighthouse Schools exists to create a dynamic
learning community of schools that are utilizing one-to-one computing
to empower students and teachers to lead in the twenty-first century.
Membership
Join The Coalition of Lighthouse Schools in its mission to maximize
the unique relation it has with Apple computers by formally operating

independent or charter one-to-one laptop schools will enable the Coalition to

a larger network will offer more collaboration opportunities and give
us all more access to educators and colleagues with new and cutting
edge ideas for new technologies in the curriculum, classroom and school.
