How to Enroll & Register for Courses
Some Things to Know First
Leadership Academy of Colorado (LACO) is a state-approved multi-district online school available to students statewide in Colorado. To qualify for free tuition in our online middle school and online high school programs, students must take 4 or more classes per semester and LACO must be their only state-funded curriculum provider.
If your student would prefer to take 2-3 classes, you can enroll in Williamsburg’s Homeschool Enrichment (HSE) program through Colorado Education reEnvisioned (a BOCES). However, there are fewer benefits in the HSE program for students.
Follow These Steps to
Enroll and Register Full-Time:
STEP 1: Submit an
Application to Enroll
Open Enrollment for the 2023-24 school year is now open.
Click here to create a Leadership Academy of Colorado parent account in Student Information Systems (SIS). You will create an account under your name and then add your student(s).
Then, under My Students, find your student’s tab and click Application. You’ll then be guided to submit all of your student’s information. If you are enrolling multiple students, you will need to fill out a separate application for each child.
We will process each application and get back to you within 1-3 business days!
STEP 2: Select Your
Child's Courses
Early registration for students who have applied and been accepted opens March 27. Apply today to make sure you're ready!
Once your child’s application is approved, it’s time to register for classes!
To start, review our recommended course paths and live course schedules for middle and high school. Create a list of courses your student will take and their preferred class times. If your child is new to Williamsburg, we recommend doing this step with an advisor.
- Note: We recommend taking live-online courses over self-paced courses for the best academic experience and results. Self-paced courses should be selected only when needed.
Then, back in SIS under My Students, find your student’s tab and click Registration. Select their desired courses and class times, and follow the prompts to complete the registration process.
- Note: Be sure to select only courses that show “Covered by LACO” under “Tuition Per Semester” to ensure that 100% of your child’s tuition is covered.
We suggest registering for both the fall and winter semesters simultaneously to ensure you get the best schedule for your student. If needed, you can adjust your child’s courses and schedule within the first 28 days of each semester.
STEP 3: Confirm Your
Child's Registration
Lastly, once you have selected all the courses your student will take, you will move through some final sub-steps:
- Confirm your course list.
- Confirm your contact info.
- Review and accept the enrollment agreement.
- Submit.

Enroll Your Student Full-time for Maximum Benefits
Results show that full-time students who enroll in the Williamsburg program (four or more courses) get higher grades, develop vital time management skills, and make deeper social connections with their peers and mentors. They outperform their peers on ACT/SAT exams and are better equipped for life as adults after graduation.
Free Technology Package for Full-time LACO Students
LACO students taking four or more courses will receive all their books, course materials, a laptop, internet filtering, and tech support, at no charge. We’re also exploring adding VR sets and other tech options after launching the program in Fall 2022. To learn more about our technology package, see our Books, Computer, and Support page.
Don’t want to enroll full-time? Here are additional options:
-
Take 2 or 3 Classes
Suppose full-time enrollment at LACO does not meet your student’s needs, and they do not intend to graduate from LACO. In that case, they may enroll in Williamsburg Learning’s Homeschool Enrichment (HSE) program through Colorado Education Reinvisioned (a BOCES).
To be eligible for HSE, students must enroll in 2-3 courses, one of which is a core course.
Currently, BOCES provides only fall and winter courses (not Summer). Students may join in any semester of the year (i.e., they don’t have to start in the fall).
To register, follow the same instructions above and select only two or three courses.
HSE students will receive reimbursement for books purchased for Williamsburg courses. You will find a full list of your student’s required books and materials in SIS under My Students > Classes once you are registered.
Please follow these steps to receive reimbursement:
- Complete one form per student. Once you click submit, you will have the option to submit for another student.
- Upload your receipt/s for verification and payment.
- Once your refund has been reviewed and submitted by our team, it will be processed by a company called bill.com. Your reimbursement will be mailed to you as a physical check. If, after 90 days, the check has not been deposited by you, it will be automatically voided and will no longer be available to deposit. You will also receive a confirmation email from them that will give you the option to provide your bank account information for electronic payment on future reimbursements.
- Please allow 2-3 weeks for the completion of this process. If you have any questions, please email support@williamsburglearning.com.

Take 1 Course
Students who take one course are not eligible to enroll at LACO or HSE. However, you may register as a private pay family at Williamsburg Academy , our sister school. Tuition costs between $275 and $425 per course.
