About Beacons of Light Learning
Beacons of Light Learning was established in 2023 by Michelle Nichols. After teaching in public schools since 2012, she felt the Lord call her to another path in education. Mrs. Nichols is passionate about leading children to discover God's glory in all of His creation. What better way to see how magnificent our Creator is other than to study math and science? This passion led to the creation of Beacons of Light Learning.
