Bible Studies

This year we are going through the book of Philippians. All students in grades PreK-12 are encouraged to participate in Enlightium's Bible studies. An Enlightium staff or faculty member will guide the time. Invitations, including the link to the Zoom meeting, will be sent to student and parent emails, along with text messages. These invitations will go out 30 minutes before each study. Students may not be able to enter the meeting if they are significantly late (15 minutes or over).

Student Chapels
 | Student chapels are a time for students to come together in worship and praise from around the nation and world, and grow in the knowledge of Christ by the power of His Spirit and Word. Students get opportunities to pray, read Scripture, and even help lead songs of praise while a member of our staff or faculty delivers a message. Our messages this year will focus on our theme from Philippians, Peace Beyond Understanding (Phil. 4:6–7). Invitations to join are sent via email and text message.

A Message from the Principal’s Office (The Online Program)
 | Congratulations to students for finishing their first quarter! We appreciate all the hard work that students have invested in their school work. The start of Quarter 2 is a great time for students to reflect on what went well and to set goals for the rest of the semester. Students have had enough time to gain familiarity with the curriculum, and there is also time left in the semester for students to improve grades and make positive changes. We encourage students to reach out to teachers if they ever have any questions or would like support. They are here to help and care about your students! Parents are welcome to reach out to teachers as well, and you can also email the Principal’s Office with any questions. The Principal’s Office email is principal@enlightiumacademy.com We are here to provide support!
