Not a good school

Bad experience for me and my child. They don’t care about teaching, just profits.

Thank you for sharing your experience. We’re sorry to hear that the process of uploading and submitting assignments caused stress for you and your family. We understand that adjusting to a new online learning system can take time, especially when you’re still getting familiar with how everything works.

To help students and families feel more comfortable with the platform, we provide step-by-step guidance during the Student Orientation course that walks through how to navigate the system, submit assignments, and communicate with teachers. In addition, our teachers and technical support team are available to assist whenever questions or challenges come up.

At Enlightium, we care deeply about supporting students not only academically but also emotionally. We want the learning experience to be encouraging and manageable for both students and their families. Our goal is to help students grow in confidence and independence as they develop the skills needed to succeed in an online learning environment.

We would also love the opportunity to help resolve any issues you may be experiencing. Please feel free to reach out by emailing principal@enlightiumacademy.com, and our team will be happy to work with you to find a solution. Thank you again for your feedback.

Best,
Enlightium Administration

We have been with Enlightium since the…2020-2021 school year.

We have been with Enlightium since the pandemic. Our daughter is currently in 11th grade and a 3.95 GPA. We have been very happy with many aspects of the program, but the one area that continues to lower our satisfaction is the excessive number of projects and unrealistic completion time estimates for the projects. We have tried numerous ways to address the issue from both our daughter’s perspective and voicing concerns through her counselor. It seems the farther down the road we go the more the projects become the bane of our existence. We are both parents with graduate level educations and executive level professional careers. The majority of the school work time is spent on projects. Projects block access to other lessons. So, once a project takes longer than the estimate time the student can quickly get behind the power curve. When we began Enlightium there were not as many online programs as there are today. The quality of online programs has definitely improved over the last 6-7 years. Before jumping into a specific program I would recommend taking to other parents who have been with a program for a while and ask about the progression of the program. I have seen a few posts regarding Enlightium’s issue with the quantity and timelines for projects, I would be interested to hear other’s in high school experiencing this issue. I would encourage Enlightium to improve this area as we are very satisfied with all other aspects of the program. I will say flexibility has been the single most reason we have not changed programs and we could not do this heavily project ladened curriculum without that aspect. This has impacted our quality of life as she spends what would be family time or other time towards completing projects. As much as we would like to finish with Enlightium we are seriously considering alternatives for her senior year.

Thank you for taking the time to share such a thoughtful and balanced review. We truly appreciate your family’s partnership with Enlightium Academy over the last few years, and we hope we can resolve your concerns so that your daughter can finish strong.

We’re grateful that your family has had several positive experiences at Enlightium, and we acknowledge your concerns about the volume and time expectations for projects. Your experience and its impact on your family’s quality time are something we take seriously.

At Enlightium, our mission is to support students holistically through their academic, spiritual, emotional, social, and physical development, in line with our Expected Student Outcomes. We aim to help students become independent learners, while also recognizing the importance of maintaining a healthy and balanced lifestyle. When the demands of project work begin to feel overwhelming, it’s important that we listen and look for ways to improve. We’d like to clarify that students may begin working on projects as soon as they enter the project unit. This gives them the full duration of the unit to complete their project, which is usually about one month. Projects and longer writing assignments are the primary ways we measure learning in the online classroom, but we have made significant changes over the last three years to balance the workload. This includes reducing by half the number of projects students are assigned.

We are sorry to hear that the changes made over the last few years have not resulted in a better experience for your daughter, and we would love to connect with you directly to better understand how the project timelines may not be aligning with what’s realistic for your daughter. Your insights can help us identify areas that need adjustment and better support students and families going forward, and we may be able to make some adjustments right away. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to us at principal@enlightiumacademy.com. We’d truly value the opportunity to talk with you.

Thank you for sharing how you’re feeling. We are sorry to hear that school has felt stressful and discouraging for you—that’s never what we want for any Enlightium student. Our desire is for students to grow not just academically, but also spiritually, emotionally, and socially, and when it feels like there’s “too much pressure,” it can get in the way of all of that.

Regarding grades and teacher support, while we can’t talk about specific details publicly, we do see that you are not failing your courses, and your teachers are available and want to help you succeed. When grades suddenly feel very different from a previous school year, it can sometimes be a sign that the pace, course level, or schedule needs to be adjusted, or that you’d benefit from extra guidance in navigating the online format—and that’s something we can help with.

We don’t want you to feel alone in this. Please reach out directly to the principal’s office at principal@enlightiumacademy.com so we can address any specific concerns in detail, and we can work together on a plan that supports both your learning and your well-being.

Best,
Principal’s Office

Watch out for increases

I chose this school because it was affordable. Now tuition has gone up over $50 a month and I won’t be able to afford it anymore, even with the discounts

Hi Brittany,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We understand your concern about the recent tuition increase, and we truly appreciate you choosing our school based on the value and affordability we strive to provide.

We know that any increase in cost can be challenging, and we want you to know that we’re here to support you. While modest tuition adjustments are made annually to help cover rising operational costs and maintain the quality of our programs, our goal is always to keep education as accessible as possible.

We offer a range of support options, including flexible payment plans and various discounts, and we’d love the opportunity to work with you directly to find a solution that fits your needs. We also have an appeal process in place for families experiencing extenuating circumstances.

Please don’t hesitate to reach out to us at billing@enlightiumacademy.com so we can explore ways to make continuing at our school more manageable for you.

Enlightium can be your blessing also…

We truly love our son's education at Enlightium. They are dedicated to helping your child get a valuable education. The most important thing about Enlightium is the positive blessings of sharing the word of God in the curriculum. I have told several parents about this school and we are happy to be apart of their inclusive learning community.

Unnecessary hindrance to a child's education

Customer service and online instant bill pay needs a lot of work. I try to avoid calling billing because they never really help. Sales helped me with billing and were extremely more helpful. 1st and last year. My kids have been deactivated 3 times. I had money issues and still was able to pay, maybe it's incorporating AI that's the issue because the payments bounce or they don't properly change the dates of auto pay but because of this issue my kids suffer for it. For a Christian school they seem to honor mammon (money entity) more than Jesus. 1st and last year for them here

Dear Madeline,

Thank you for taking the time to share your concerns and experiences. We are truly sorry to hear that this school year has been challenging for you and your family, particularly when it comes to billing and account access. We understand how frustrating and disheartening it must have been to navigate financial difficulties while also managing your children’s education.

We also appreciate your feedback regarding the experience that you have had with the online portal. This software is in development, and improvements are made possible by feedback such as yours. Your insights have been heard and will be reviewed with our leadership and technical teams. At this time, Enlightium Academy does not utilize any AI-driven automation for payments or financial systems.

More importantly, we want to personally apologize for the impression that our school prioritizes finances over our faith values. We aim to reflect Christ in both word and deed, especially when families are going through hardship. As a tuition-based school, we receive no financial support or income other than what we collect directly from tuition payments. It is necessary for us to collect balances owed promptly in order to be able to continue to offer the quality of education that we strive to provide.

Though you’ve indicated this may be your final year with Enlightium, we would still like to connect and talk about your family’s experience at Enlightium. You can reach out to us at feedback@enlightiumacademy.com to begin that conversation.

Enlightium Academy has been the best…

Enlightium Academy has been the best school Could’ve Ever have had our kids start at I love the Christian based curriculum, always teaching the kids about God in every way and they have a Bible course, which is amazing to teach them about god and Jesus I love the flexible hours. The people are always so kind when you speak to them. I feel like since my kids started going Enlightium Academy that we just get to spend more time as a family and I get to know my kids better unlike the traditional public schools where they’re gone all the time and you’re gone. It’s really been a blessing for our family to have found in this school and I am thankful for a Enlightium Academy.

Enlightium Academy provides a traditional education from the comfort of your home.

Enlightium Academy provides an excellent traditional education for our children from the comfort of our home. We removed our children from private education to your online private school and we have never regretted this decision. The teachers are excellent and they really do care. Your school curriculum addresses our education needs as well as spiritual needs. We the Williams family are so thankful for Enlightium Academy Teachers and Staff. May God continue to bless your ministry.

Enlightium has been such a blessing

Enlightium has been such a blessing. We have tried other online curriculum but found them to be disappointing. Enlightium however has been wonderful. Teachers are available, curriculum is appropriate, and the program is flexible which is imperative to our family. I also love the faith based learning and do not have to worry my daughter is being exposed to inappropriate information. Highly recommend!

Education with a sense of family ,faith and no compromises …

My son has a bit of a problem with concentration in subjects he is not to interested in. Though with some encouragement and help he gets his school work completed. Enlightium makes both my son's and my experience very manageable and fair to keep up. I find that with thie current climate and toxicity in the public system of education, we have a most comfortable faith and family friendly choice of education. Thank you
