4. What is the Enrichment program?

​

LIGHT Enrichment is a parent-led enrichment program that meets Thursday at Grace Fellowship in Katy. Per our bylaws, Enrichment members must affirm the beliefs in LIGHT’s Statement of Faith and have at least one child actively homeschooling who is at least six years old and in the first grade. Enrichment members automatically receive all of the benefits of a social member.

​

5. Are you meeting for the 2023-2024 school year?

​

Enrollment for the Enrichment program is now closed. However, click here for information on how to register for our Social Membership. 

​

6. How do I apply for the Enrichment program?

​

The first step is to attend an Informational Meeting which are typically held in the spring. This meeting allows prospective families to visit our Enrichment program for a morning, gives them time to tour facilities, and ask any questions at that time. During that meeting we go over what the next steps are to apply for our Enrichment program.

​

8. What are the expectations for parental involvement?

​

We are a parent-led cooperative, and therefore parent involvement is required to varying degrees depending on the event or activity. For Enrichment classes, parents are required to teach and assist. For social events, parents are expected to attend with their children and provide supervision.

​

9. What are the fees associated with joining?

​

Social membership is a $30.00 non-refundable fee.

​

Enrichment membership is $60/semester per family, for a total of $120 per academic year. An initial nonrefundable deposit of $40 is due upon your acceptance as an Enrichment member and the $20 balance of the fall registration fee is due by June 1. Spring registration fees will be due typically by November 15. Additionally, class fees are set by the teacher and range from $5-$20 per class. The cost of Enrichment membership also includes all the benefits of social membership.

​

10. Do you require a signed statement of faith?

​

As a Christian organization we require all Enrichment members to sign a Statement of Faith. Social members are not required to sign, but are required to respect the beliefs of LIGHT as described in the Statement of Faith.

​

11. Are you a drop-off program?

​

No, we are not. We require parent participation during events and activities.
