What is CTE?
CTE stands for Career and Technical Education. These courses help students explore future careers while gaining real world skills that can be used in college, the workforce, military service, or entrepreneurship.
At Illuminate Online Academy in partnership with LifePrep Academy, students can access a variety of flexible CTE opportunities while continuing their Christ-centered education. Whether your student is interested in business, healthcare, technology, education, agriculture, skilled trades, or other career pathways, Illuminate can help them gain valuable experience and prepare for their future.
Why wait until graduation to start preparing for a career?
Flexible Learning. Strong Values. Christ-Centered.
Illuminate Online Academy is committed to equipping world changers with the love of Jesus while helping students discover their God-given gifts and purpose.

Please join us in welcoming Kalasia Ferri to LPA! Kalasia is joining us as our theatre and music instructor.

Hello! My name is Kalasia Ferri. I graduated from Sterling College in 2022 with a bachelor's degree in music. During my time at Sterling College, I was deeply involved with both music and theatre. Music, specifically worship music, has always been a passion of mine. The meaning of true worship really changed in my life when I attended Presence Worship Residency in 2021 & 2022. These summers taught us how important it was to have personal devotional time with the Lord, as well as how to usher the Holy Spirit into a place. We spent part of the summer teaching youth how to grow in both their faith and musical abilities.

Currently, my husband and I lived in a small town called Lyons, Kansas, where I have had the privilege of being a stay-at-home mama to our almost 3-year-old daughter, Aria Noelle. I love going on coffee dates with my family and friends, writing music, and honestly starting any new random hobby. Currently, it's making homemade bread! I have worn multiple hats over the last few years: wife, daughter, worship leader, daycare provider, substitute, and paraprofessional. My family and I are very excited to start this new journey at LPA this fall!

Please join us in welcoming Travell Robinson to the team! Travell is joining LPA as our new K-12 Physical Education teacher and head boys' basketball coach.

Hello, my name is Travell Robinson. I am originally from McPherson, KS. I attended Barton County Community College then transferred to Tabor College where I finished my collegiate basketball career and graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Psychology with a minor in Coaching. Upon graduation, I lived in Los Angeles, California where I was a junior college basketball coach for 2 years at Pierce College. While there, I was also a skills trainer working alongside overseas and former NBA players to help them gain knowledge of the game.

I am glad to be back at LPA! I formerly served as the assistant basketball coach for LPA for 2 years. I am happy to now serve as the Head Coach and physical education teacher. I’m excited for the new journey and opportunity to help mentor young kids in the right direction: towards Jesus!
