Admissions Process for New Families
New vs Returning Students
 | - The steps below are for:
- New Students: full-time students who have never been enrolled at Enlightium. Part-time students still need to complete some steps, such as submitting the enrollment form and providing identification but are excluded from most of the admissions steps.
- Past Students: students who were enrolled at Enlightium, withdrew, enrolled at a different school for at least one quarter, and are now returning to Enlightium.
- Re-enrollment: returning students' enrollment steps.

Step 2: Provide Current Grades and Report Card/Transcript to Enlightium (Grades K-12)
 | - THIS STEP NEEDS TO BE COMPLETED BEFORE COURSES ARE ASSIGNED
- By default, we’ll still request your student’s previous school to send report cards/transcripts and other records to us. Enlightium’s Admissions Department may also request your student's birth certificate, the social security number for seniors, as well as additional required records.
- You can securely upload records using Enlightium’s Student Records Uploader.
- Once your student has completed the current school year, talk to your previous school about their withdrawal policies to ensure that Enlightium receives all records in a timely manner.

Step 3: Complete Entrance Assessment (Grades 1-12)
 | - THIS STEP NEEDS TO BE COMPLETED BEFORE COURSES ARE ASSIGNED
- The Entrance Assessment evaluates the information your student has retained from the previous or current year, depending on when your student enrolls in Enlightium.
- Your student’s score will help inform the counselor's recommendations for course selection and rigor.
- You will receive a notification with instructions on how to complete the assessment.
|
Step 4: Review/Confirm Student Schedule with Counselor (Grades PreK-12)
 | - Parents with students in:
- The Online Program will receive a course planner via email from their counselor. Parents will need to review and confirm this course planner via email. For high school students, this step needs to be completed before courses are assigned.
- The Homeschool Program will receive a welcome email as well as an instructional email for ordering the book-based curriculum.
- The Sapphire Live Program will receive a welcome email with their next steps.
- After this step is complete and you have reached your desired start date, your student may begin courses!
- Review Enlightium's school calendar to stay updated on important events.

Step 5a: Complete the Parent Orientation (Grades PreK-12)
Step 5b: Complete the Student Orientation (Grades 3-12)
Step 6: Review of State Requirements (Grades PreK-12)
 | - Enlightium Academy is a private Christian school that has accreditation, approvals, and memberships by Cognia and the Association of Christian Schools International. Enlightium serves homeschool, online, and co-op school students in grades K-12. Since most of our students study from home settings, some states view our students as homeschoolers, therefore requiring them to follow their state’s homeschool requirements.
