ChatterHigh is an award-winning, research-proven platform that gets students learning from real-world, informative websites on topics like college & career, mental health, financial literacy, and more. TEACHERS We believe teachers have enough to manage and they appreciate free, simple, and engaging learning resources to use in classrooms. ChatterHigh teachers receive a curriculum-aligned resource with simple web-based features like the classroom dashboard to track, monitor and assess student participation and progress. All for free. STUDENTS We believe students make more mindful decisions when they are engaged, informed, and hopeful. ChatterHigh students receive a fun, mobile, daily edu-game in the form of a quiz that allows them to research and explore thousands of webpages on topics like financial literacy, mental health, college and career exploration, school choice, and more.

No paper, no printing, no shipping. GAMIFICATION We believe that fun and games build a better community because really, who doesn’t want fun and games?

We are an entrepreneurial investment firm that invests in small and mid-sized businesses that we can help build and grow long term. The Lightheart legacy of entrepreneurship stretches back to the early 1900s when the six Lightheart brothers left their farm in rural Ontario to seek opportunity in the up-and-coming city of Vancouver. They would teach themselves trade-skills and develop dozens of houses and apartments, many of which are still standing after 100 years. Three generations later, we have cultivated a deep respect for the legacy, heritage and culture of every business, and when we invest we look not to disrupt, but to preserve and grow within that legacy.
