Wake Forest, NC — Lightbridge Academy® announces new center coming to the Wake Forest market. The new Lightbridge Academy center will be located at 1016 Holding Village Way and is slated to open in Summer 2025.

As part of its commitment to supporting the local community, Lightbridge Academy of Wake Forest will make a donation at its groundbreaking event on October 2 to the Tri-Area Ministry Food Pantry, a non-profit organization dedicated to providing essential food and support to local families in need.
