Melody has always been passionate about special needs education, and after purchasing this piece of land, they started Lighthouse Academy, a not-for-profit school catered to special needs children.

It has then been providing not just a financial income for Lighthouse Academy, but an enriching experience for the students as guests are invited to give short and inspiring speeches to the students in Lighthouse Academy. 

Come stay with us or even just drop by to experience it for yourself!
