About Us

LIGHT Academy is a part-time hybrid school, combining homeschool with traditional schooling. LIGHT provides the structure and accountability of a school setting, with the flexibility of the homeschool schedule on non-school days. LIGHT families are registered homeschool families, and their students attend in-person classes two days a week. The teacher and parents/guardians are both responsible for the student's education.

LIGHT Academy currently offers kindergarten-high school.

Our Hybrid Model

Classroom teachers introduce the concepts, set the pace for the class, and provide weekly assignments to be completed at home. Teachers communicate weekly with parents and provide progress reports throughout the school year.

September-May school year
In person class 2x per week, either Monday/Wednesday or Tuesday/Thursday
Small class sizes (maximum of 12 students for elementary, and 15 for secondary)
Parents drop students off between 9:00am-9:10am and pick up after school using the drop off/pickup line
9:10am-12:15pm for elementary (Math & Language Arts), with optional electives after school until 1:30pm
9:10am-1:30pm for secondary (Math, Language Arts, & Science)

Registration & Tuition

Application Process:

For the 2025-2026 school year, fill out this Interest Form. (If interested in applying for the current school year, contact us.)
A separate form is required for EACH student. We will then email you a pre-enrollment packet.
If you wish to proceed with the enrollment process, we will schedule a tour of our facilities with you and set up a shadow day for your student.
Must provide an academic transcript, if coming from a previous school. If unable to provide an academic transcript, due to exclusively being homeschooled, an assessment will be administered on your child's shadow day.
Upon acceptance to LIGHT, there will be a non-refundable $200 enrollment fee to hold your child's place. Half of this will be credited to your family's May tuition.

A la carte classes are available for high school only and are $80 per class per month.

Beliefs and Values

These core beliefs and values guide our teaching at LIGHT Academy. LIGHT has the right to refuse admission to anyone in direct opposition of our beliefs and values.

We believe God’s Word is our final authority for faith and practice.

We believe that people were created in the image of God, both male and female and that these two distinct and immutable genders were part of God’s good and perfect plan for creation. Furthermore, God designed marriage as a covenant between one man and one woman.

We believe that Jesus Christ is our Messiah, fully God and fully man. He lived a sinless life, was crucified, rose from the dead, ascended into heaven, and sits at the right hand of God the Father.
We believe that all have sinned and fall short of the Glory of God. We believe Jesus Christ died in our place, as the perfect, all-sufficient sacrifice for our sins. His atoning death and victorious resurrection constitute the only ground for salvation.

We value sharing the love and light of Jesus with others.
We value a community that offers grace, truth, and a Christ-centered approach to learning.
We value a safe atmosphere, physically and emotionally, and work towards sustaining healthy relationships with each other.
