December 18, 2025
November promises to be a busy and meaningful month for your school community, packed with activities that celebrate achievements, strengthen partnerships, and inspire reflection. Here’s what’s on the agenda:
The month begins with a highlight event: the 1st Quarter Academic Awards assembly. This gathering is a time to honor students who have excelled during the first quarter. From outstanding academic performance to commendable effort and positive contributions, this celebration encourages a culture of excellence and motivates students to strive for success.
Parent-teacher conferences are a cornerstone of collaboration between educators and families. This fall, these meetings provide an essential opportunity to share insights into students’ academic progress and areas for growth. Parents can ask questions, better understand the curriculum, and work with teachers to create strategies for supporting their child’s development.
Veterans Day is more than just a no-school day; it’s a time for reflection. This observance allows students and staff to pause and consider the sacrifices made by veterans in service to the country. It’s a reminder of the importance of gratitude and respect for those who have dedicated themselves to protecting freedom.
November also brings important administrative responsibilities, including the Student Immunization and Exemption Report submission to the State Health Department. This ensures compliance with health and safety regulations, supporting the well-being of the school community.
As November comes to a close, the school gathers for a special Thanksgiving Chapel. This event provides a meaningful opportunity for students, teachers, and staff to reflect on their blessings and express gratitude. Through music, shared reflections, and moments of thankfulness, the chapel reinforces the values of appreciation and unity.
November is a month filled with opportunities to celebrate student achievements, build stronger connections with families, and reflect on the importance of gratitude. From academic awards to Thanksgiving reflections, these activities highlight the values and culture that make your school community special.
Let’s make November a month to remember!

This was our first year with Enlightium Academy and I love it for my daughter! She has grown so much spiritually and academically! The weight of having to do it all has been lifted since I have 3 small children as well. We feel supported in our homeschool life!
This program is really focused on a good education for your kids.
The ability to adapt to our child’s learning challenges made for a smooth transition bringing joy that she is actually learning now and retaining the knowledge. We can not wait to tackle another year!
Love the curriculum. The teachers are wonderful and caring. Any technical issues are resolved almost immediately and the billing department has excellent customer service

Most importantly, they teach the Bible in such an amazing way. It’s just perfect—I don’t regret being part of this school for a moment.
