Admissions
Overview
Great news! The enrollment period for the 2019-2020 school year is open. If you enroll today, you are eligible to save up to 30% off the cost of tuition.
As students enroll throughout the year, Enlightium Academy (Enlightium) works collaboratively in providing the best educational opportunity for its students. The Enlightium team takes time to get to know each student. Our counselors review the incoming student report cards for grades 3–8 and transcripts for grades 9–12, evaluate the Enlightium placement (entrance) test scores and, if applicable, additional documentation such as doctor’s diagnostic information and recommendations, as they develop an academic plan for each student. Enlightium is designed for students who desire to strive academically regardless of where they are in their educational journey. The online curriculum is customized by counselors to their individual student’s needs, graduation requirements, and beyond high school plans.
Enlightium Academy admits students of any race, color, sex, national and ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to students at Enlightium. It does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, sex, national or ethnic origin in administration of its educational policies, admissions policies, scholarship, athletic, and other school-administered programs.
Admissions Process
Pay Enrollment Fee and Submit Form
Transfer Current Grades and Transcript (official or unofficial) to Enlightium
By default we’ll still request your student’s previous school to send grades and other records to us. Our Admissions team may also request your student's birth certificate, if needed, as well as the social security number for seniors.
Complete Withdrawal Requirements of Previous School
Complete Placement Tests
The Placement Tests evaluate the information your student has retained from the previous or current year, depending on when your student enrolls in Enlightium. Your student’s score, whether it is average, above average, or below average, will help inform the counselor recommendations for course selection and rigor.
Complete Orientation Requirements
These requirements include: watching the Open House video and completing the Parent and Student Orientations. The orientations include: video tutorials, links to calendars featuring school events, and more!
Review Course Schedule
Reviewing the courses that your student will likely take will give you an idea of what material will be covered and allow you to see if there are any required purchases.
Review Family Handbook
This handbook will be provided upon enrollment. Topics discussed in the handbook include: in-depth policies and how to best support your student to have an excellent school year.
Review State Requirements
Review your state requirements regarding online education. Some states will require verification that your student is enrolled at Enlightium Academy. Keep in mind that Enlightium is teacher-led and fully accredited.
Confirm Student Schedule with Counselor
Once classes are assigned, you will be notified by your student's counselor via email. Families with students in grades 9-12 will need to confirm the emailed 4-year plan before courses can be assigned.
After this step is complete and you have reached your desired start date, your student may begin courses!
Join the Family Alliance (optional)
All families with students enrolled are encouraged to join the Facebook Family Alliance page, where Enlightium staff posts:
- School events, deadlines, and reminders
- Articles to help your family get the most out of online private homeschooling
- Exclusive videos, polls, and more
Families can also use it as an opportunity to ask questions of Enlightium staff or other families, as well as make connections with other Enlightium families.
