Modern-day parents seek flexible and personalized educational experiences based on the unique needs and strengths of their children¹. The personalized approach to learning is becoming a reality today with online schools utilizing technology². Technology makes personalization practical since it: (1) allows teachers to differentiate instruction; (2) structures content and activities into manageable pathways; (3) allows facilitated individual and group work across time and place; (4) gives parents access to their students’ progress at all times, and (5) evaluates students’ academic performance by counselors who make decisions about their progression to graduation³. 

With the surge of reported cases of COVID-19 worldwide, it’s no wonder that parents are concerned about their children’s health and welfare at school. Some states already announced school closure for public and private schools until the end of this school year and even in the fall of 2020 and spring of 2021. The reality is that most school districts are not prepared to conduct classes in a remote learning environment. With Enlightium Academy, you can provide your child with a safe learning environment at your home. In this article you will learn that by partnering with Enlightium Academy, homeschooling your child can be easier than you think!

Since the dawn of the 21st century, various alternatives to K-12 public education have become more common. One of the rising school choice options available to parents, which reflects the reality of how students learn nowadays, is online education. Online education (1) is designed around the learner, allowing for self-paced learning that provides students with opportunities to speed up or slow down as necessary; (2) provides the flexibility offered by online technologies to support the needs of diverse learners; (3) opens a wide array of options to all learners¹. Ken Robinson², an international advisor on innovative education, noted that a solution to the downsides of public education is individualized learning through technology to discover the individual talents of each child, to put students in an environment where they want to learn, and where they can naturally discover their true passions.
