HIP homeschool transformed the way my boys feel about school. They are excited about learning and don't want to miss a day. They have gained a level of independence and responsibility that I did not think was possible.

ABOUT US
Illumina was founded in 2018 by Dennise Ondina, a former Montessori teacher and public school principal with over 25 years of experience in education. But the true spark for Illumina was lit years earlier—through a deeply personal and life-changing journey.
In 2013, Dennise’s 19-year-old son sustained a traumatic brain injury in a four-wheeler accident. In an instant, he lost the ability to eat, speak, walk, and think—everyday abilities we often take for granted.
With the help of some extraordinary people, Dennise and her husband spent the next five years supporting his recovery—helping him as he relearned how to live, one step at a time. The experience transformed her understanding of how we learn and revealed the powerful resilience of both the human brain and spirit.
What felt like a personal journey at the time was actually leading her toward a greater purpose. From that journey, Illumina was born—an inclusive place where children and teens with diverse learning needs are met with understanding, expert support, and a deep belief in their ability to grow and thrive.
