30-Day Money Back Guarantee
We know choosing a school is a big decision. We also know that no website, video, or admissions call can tell you everything you need to know. Only living it can.
So, we made a promise:
Enroll your student. Try Enlightium Academy for 30 days. If it isn't the right fit for your family, we'll refund 100% of your tuition. No penalty. No paperwork maze.
The 30 days begin the day your student is granted access to their courses. To request a refund, simply email or call our admissions team within that window. We'll process your refund and help you transition smoothly, including transferring any records back to you so your student doesn't lose ground.
We offer this guarantee because we are confident in the school we've built. Since 2003, more than 30,000 students have walked the Enlightium path, and 92% of our families say they'd recommend us. But we'd rather lose a family on day thirty than have one feel stuck on day one hundred and thirty. See full billing policies.

"They have worked with our scheduling and been there with answers to any questions we've had. They have made this a wonderful experience." — Mandy, ★★★★★ Trustpilot review
"Excellent in communication from the beginning, and throughout the enrollment process. The team was especially helpful, taking extra time to call me, explain next steps, and what to expect." — Heidi B., ★★★★★ Trustpilot review
The staff is great at communicating and our daughter loves the teachers. It is comforting to be in an environment where all members of the school staff are Christian and that reflects in the daily/weekly communication. We are so grateful we found Enlightium." — Julie K., ★★★★★ Trustpilot review
"Well worth the investment. My daughter has been attending for over three years. Her grades are much higher, she can learn Bible-based material, and she is not shunned for her beliefs. I recommend Enlightium to any Christian parents who value the safety and enrichment of their children's lives." — Tony W., ★★★★★ Trustpilot review
"Every morning was a struggle to get her out of bed and on the bus. Now she has wonderful support from her teachers, she's learning a lot, and it's challenging in a good way. We're about to begin our 3rd quarter in 7th grade with all A's and a few B's. Enlightium has been an answer to my prayers." — Ronda C., ★★★★★ Trustpilot review
"My daughter completed her junior and senior year of high school with Enlightium. She was able to take AP classes. Teachers were available if she was struggling and the support from counselors was excellent. And she got into her dream college. I only wish we started Enlightium her freshman year of high school."

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.
Step 1: Enroll Any Week
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: Prepare & Send Us Your Records
Provide current grades and any necessary documents, such as report cards or transcripts. These should be submitted as soon as possible to facilitate the enrollment process. Review record requirements.
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.
Set Up Technology
Students should have access to a computer and a reliable internet connection. Compatible computer options include a Windows laptop or desktop, an iMac or MacBook, and a Chromebook.
Why this matters: using the right technology will help your student have a smooth online learning experience.
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.
Flexible Start Dates
You don't have to wait until September. Enlightium Academy offers rolling enrollment throughout the year — so your child can start when your family is ready, not when the calendar says so.
Apply and start any time. No need to wait for a new semester.
We make it seamless. Credits transfer, transcripts align, and your child picks up where they left off.
Summer course options, credit recovery, or enrichment opportunities available.
