Annual TESTING

Start My Enrollment

Enlightium Academy recommends regular academic assessment as a part of each student’s academic journey.

Regular assessments are beneficial to:

Provide students and parents valuable information about the student’s academic standing by identifying strengths and potential gaps in learning.
Show parents their student’s achievements compared to their peers nationally.
Generate valuable data for Enlightium Academy to make strategic curriculum changes and improvements.

Additionally, some states require students to participate in a standardized assessment annually. Enlightium provides several opportunities for students to meet their state’s requirements.

Assessment Options

Each assessment provides a range of benefits, including achievement data and merit scholarship opportunities, as well as differentiated instruction for each student based on the results of the assessment. This can be especially helpful in improving conceptual understanding in weak areas. Some assessments are essential for meeting college admission requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Enlightium provide fee waivers for students who are planning to take the SAT exam?

If you are a homeschooled student, you can ask for a fee waiver from a counselor at the local public high school. You must provide proof of eligibility (tax records, public assistance records, or record of enrollment in an aid program) to the counselor. If you qualify, the counselor will issue a fee waiver card and can go over it with you.

What do I do when my local school district will not permit my student to take the PSAT because she is not enrolled with them?
