Williamsburg – A new educational initiative is set to launch this August, as Enlighten Christian Academy opens its doors in the Norge area, promising to deliver a unique blend of microschool and private Christian academy elements. This innovative microschool will cater to children in first and second grades, with plans to expand to higher grade levels as its inaugural student cohort progresses.

The academy emphasizes small class sizes and personalized support, which aims to allow students to progress at their own pace. This unique approach not only fosters individual learning but also helps create an engaging and supportive learning environment. Enlighten Christian Academy will kick off its first academic day on Monday, August 25, 2025.

Enlighten Christian Academy will feature a diverse curriculum divided into four educational tracks to best suit the needs and interests of its students:

All-In-One Experience: This full-time commitment includes core academic subjects in the morning alongside enrichment courses from Monday through Thursday, with Flex Fridays dedicated to experiential learning.
Academic Experience: This track focuses exclusively on academic subjects while still providing access to Flex Fridays.
Enrichment Experience: This option is centered on enrichment courses available to students while Flex Fridays can be included.
Flex Fridays: In this track, students participate in field trips and hands-on learning experiences.

To offer affordability, tuition costs at Enlighten Christian Academy range from $8,500 to $900 annually, depending on the chosen program. Additionally, the school provides financial assistance in the form of a 40% discount on tuition for families whose parents work six hours a week at the academy, encouraging community involvement. Further, an additional $500 tuition discount is available until July 31, 2025.

Flex Fridays at Enlighten Christian Academy will typically include three field trips each month, incorporating experiential learning opportunities such as visits to a pumpkin patch. The final Friday of each month will feature a chapel program where students can showcase their talents through performances, including singing and dancing, reinforcing the school’s emphasis on faith and gratitude.

Daily routines at the academy will incorporate spiritual elements, as students will start each day with a devotion where they can acknowledge their blessings. The school operates on a non-denominational basis, welcoming a diverse group of students and offering a faith-based personalized educational experience.

Enrichment classes will cover a wide array of topics, including business, Spanish, and culinary arts, equipping students with valuable skills while still focusing on core academic subjects. The educational model is designed to customize learning according to each child’s proficiency level, thereby easing transitions between classes while promoting a cohesive learning experience.
