Start Your Journey

3 Simple Steps to Start

Follow our easy enrollment process to kickstart your child’s education with Enlightium Academy.

No matter your student's stage in their educational journey, the Enlightium team is here to partner with you. We evaluate their unique needs to support their academic success.

Explore Support Options

Step 1: Enroll Any Week

All Grade Levels

There is no enrollment cliff — start any week of the year and pick up where your student left off at their last school. Records transfer in. We do the legwork.

Complete the online enrollment form. The form takes 10-20 minutes to complete, and can be filled out from a laptop, desktop, or mobile device.

Step 2: Get Set Up

Grades K-12

Online families receive login credentials, course access, and an introduction to your student's counselor. Book-Based families receive their booklist, their video-lesson access, and their counselor's contact information. Tech setup is straightforward. Anything web-connected works.

Step 3: Start Learning At Your Pace

Both paths are self-paced. Online students work through their courses on their own schedule; Book-Based families lead the day at the kitchen table with video lessons reinforcing each subject. No bells. No mandatory daily schedule. Family rhythm leads.

What We'll Need You to Provide

Choosing the curriculum that aligns with your family’s needs and goals is an important decision. 
We recommend taking the following items into consideration:

Previous School Records

To place your student well, we need to see where they're coming from. Send your student's most recent school records, including report cards, transcripts, or homeschool portfolio. Our team handles the request to the previous school if you'd rather we reach out directly.

Why this matters: records confirm grade placement, transfer credits, and any accommodations your student already has on file.

Complete Entrance Assessments

Your student takes a short set of online assessments in core subjects. There is no pass or fail. The goal is simply to make sure your student lands in the right courses for their actual readiness, not their birthday.


Why this matters: a student placed at the right level moves faster, builds confidence, and avoids a year of frustration in either direction.

Plan the Year with Your Counselor

Your student is paired with a dedicated counselor. Together you'll review your state's education requirements, build the right course schedule, factor in electives, and family priorities for the year ahead.


Why this matters: compliance is on us as the accredited school, but planning the year with your family is the foundation for a year that actually works.

Complete Orientations

Two short orientations, one for the parent, and one for the student tog et everyone comfortable with the program, the rhythms, support resources, and how to ask for help. Both are on-demand and self-paced.


Why this matters:
most enrollment friction comes from "we didn't know how this worked." We solve that on day one.
