ADMISSIONS INFORMATION
SHINE partners with parents in their homeschooling journey. However we are not a school, therefore families must comply with the Tennessee Homeschooling law regarding umbrella school registration. (TCA-49.6) Additionally as we are not a school, nor are we an umbrella school, we do not offer official transcripts or proof of enrollment to meet truancy laws, or special programs for those with special academic or behavioral needs. Incoming students must be in good standing in the areas of academics, discipline and attendance and must be registered with an umbrella school in the state of TN. We do not accept students who have been suspended or expelled from prior academic institutions. * All new families must have homeschooled for a year prior to attending SHINE. Remote learning through the public school system does not meet this standard. Students must have been actually registered as homeschoolers. Parents and student(s) may be asked for an interview process with the SHINE team and provide academic or pastoral references. After that time a decision will be made as to whether or not the student has been admitted for enrollment. Preference may be given to those families with recommendations from current SHINE families).

General: It is important to note that SHINE models a Biblical college prep environment. If your student attends, you will both be signing a contract stating your commitment to support excellent Christian behavior, both personally and academically. You will also be signing a statement of faith that all behavior submits to Biblical authority.
