Under the Mainstream Curriculum Programme for children with visual impairment, the School provides mainstream primary education to the high-functioning children with visual impairment from Primary One to Primary Six where subjects taught are similar to those in regular primary schools. So the School follows closely the curriculum and the syllabuses laid down by the Ministry of Education because the School aims to prepare the children to do well in the National Primary School Leaving Examination so that they could be integrated into the mainstream secondary schools with a good foundation and a sense of confidence. In so doing, children with low vision are provided with special assistive devices like low vision aids and CCTV. In the case of children with total vision loss, they are provided with a specialized medium of instruction / communication known as braille and its related special equipment like brailler, talking dictionary, etc.

Besides learning the academic subjects, pupils are also encouraged to participate in co-curricular activities like swimming, gardening, music, art & crafts, indoor games and outdoor games. Thus, they enjoy the benefits of a wholesome education despite their impairment. In fact, Lighthouse School has an outstanding "angklung" band which has very often been invited for public performances.

The Special Programme through its Individualized Education Plan endeavours to meet the unique and multi-faceted needs of each visually- impaired or hearing-impaired child with additional disabilities. Pupils are instructed and trained in Communication Skills, Computation Skills, Daily Living Skills and Indoor Mobility.

It incorporates strategies such as routine teaching, rehearsals, discovery learning, use of play/music, first-hand experiences and practice to teach and train the pupils. With these strategies, the school aims to enhance and stimulate the child to develop into a healthy well-adjusted person who can fit into society when given love and care.

Parents are encouraged to work closely with the school to enhance the learning outcomes of their child.
