Getting Started
We've kept enrollment simple on purpose.
No maze of forms, no weeks of waiting, no stress.
Step 1
Schedule a free family consultation
Talk with one of our academic advisors about your child, your goals, and your questions. This is a conversation, not a sales pitch. If Enlightium Prep isn't the right fit, we'll tell you — and help you find what is.
What to expect: a 20-minute call where we listen more than we talk. Come with every question you have.
"They have worked with our scheduling and been there with answers to any questions we've had. They have made this a wonderful experience."

Step 2
Complete your enrollment
A straightforward enrollment form — no essays, no entrance exams, no letters of recommendation. We review every application within 1-2 business days and reach out personally with next steps.
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."

Step 3
Welcome to Enlightium Prep
Once enrolled, your family receives a personalized onboarding guide. Your child is paired with their academic counselor, gains access to the student portal, and is ready for day one. We walk with you through every step — because the enrollment experience should feel as supportive as the education itself.
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."

"It is worth the price. My daughter has grown so much spiritually and academically. The weight of having to do it all has been lifted. All her teachers are great and always provide support and feedback when needed. I love that she can interact with teachers and peers through Zoom calls and special events."

What to Look for When Comparing Online Private Schools
Not all online schools include the same things — even the ones that look similar on paper. Here's what Enlightium Prep Online includes for every student, and what to ask other schools before you enroll.
Live instruction
Included for every student, grades 3–12. Live sessions with credentialed teachers every Monday and Tuesday. Small-group workshops Wednesday and Thursday.
Ask other schools
Is live instruction included — or is it a premium tier? What grades does it start? How often do students interact with a teacher in real time?
Structured school day
8:15 AM – 12:30 PM PT. Consistent daily rhythm. Afternoons free.
Ask other schools
Is there a set school schedule — or is it 'log in whenever'? Will my child have a predictable routine, or are they managing their own time entirely?
Daily study hall
Drop-in access to a live teacher every school day, Monday through Friday. No appointment needed.
Ask other schools
When my child is stuck, how do they get help? Is it a live person — or a chatbot, a ticket system, or a 24-hour email wait?
Student-to-teacher ratio
20:1. Teachers know every student by name.
Ask other schools
What's the student-to-teacher ratio? Is it published? Will my child's teacher actually know who they are?
Personal academic counselor
Every student is assigned a dedicated academic counselor who monitors progress, flags concerns early, and checks in with parents regularly.
Ask other schools
Does my child get an assigned counselor — or is a guidance counselor shared across hundreds of students? How often will I hear from them?
Faith integration
Biblical worldview is the core of every subject through our STREAM framework. A Director of Faith and Values oversees spiritual formation school-wide.
Ask other schools
Is faith a standalone class — or is it part of how every subject is taught? Is there anyone on staff whose role is specifically spiritual formation?
Friday enrichment
Dedicated Enrichment Day every Friday: Bible study, STREAM Hubs (Inquiry and Builder), and teacher office hours.
Ask other schools
Is there a dedicated enrichment day — or just electives students take on their own? Are enrichment activities live and collaborative, or self-paced?
Group projects & peer community
Built into the weekly schedule. Live classes, collaborative projects, daily study hall, and school-wide events. Your child learns alongside real classmates.
Ask other schools
Will my child actually work with other students — or are they learning alone? Is community built into the schedule, or is it an optional add-on?
Pricing
One price. Everything included. No tiers, no upgrades, no surprise fees.
Ask other schools
Is the quoted tuition the real price — or are live instruction, tutoring, advising, and enrichment billed separately? What does the base price actually include?

Frequently Asked Questions
