- The Enrichment Program is available to part-time students. If parents want their student(s) to only attend the enrichment day without attending the academic day or without full enrollment in the Homeschool Program (BJU Press or AOP curriculum), they would not be considered a student of record at Enlightium Academy but only a part-time student, and they would be required to keep records and meet Washington state homeschooling requirements. Students enrolled under the Enlightium Academy Homeschool Program and only attending the enrichment day without attending the academic day will receive credit for elective courses taken.
- Be on time - Just as in any classroom, being on time shows respect and responsibility.
- Be prepared - Students need to bring all of their supplies.
- Have good communication - In order for coordinators to meet students’ needs, students should have good communication with their coordinator and let them know if they have any questions about the schoolwork.
- Complete the Student Orientation by the first day of school.
- Review their coordinator’s introduction letter and understand what is expected of students.
- On Enrichment days, students will work on elective subjects per the daily schedule.
