Bible Memorization Club (PreK-12)

Overview

Students are provided Bible verses to convert to memory, and then once a quarter join a Zoom session to compete against other Enlightium students in a test of memorization.
Registration for the Bible Memorization Club for the 2024-2025 school year will open during Student Social Week from September 16-20, 2024.

Participation in the Bible Memorization Club counts as fulfilling the Student's Social Opportunity.
Students who meet attendance and participation requirements are entered into a drawing for a $50 gift card at the end of the school year.
Students need to participate in at least two Bible Memorization Club competitions to be in the running for a gift card. You can click here to submit your student's social attendance form.
