LHN Community Joins PISAY SMART UP! 2025: Where Young Minds Level Up!

On October 29, 2025, members of the Lighthouse Homeschool Network (LHN) community participated in PISAY SMART UP! 2025: Where Young Minds Level Up!, an academic and skills-based event organized by the Philippine Science High School. The event brought together learners from various schools and learning communities to engage in games and competitions designed to promote critical thinking, creativity, and academic excellence.

Pisay SmartUp is known for providing young learners with opportunities to explore their abilities across multiple disciplines through friendly yet challenging competitions. For LHN homeschoolers, the event offered a valuable space to step beyond familiar learning environments, interact with peers, and grow in confidence through participation.

Throughout the day, LHN learners joined several competition categories, each requiring focus, preparation, and courage. More than winning, the experience emphasized perseverance, sportsmanship, and the joy of learning alongside others.
