About ILLUMINATION EDUCATION INC

Illumination Education, Inc. is a Texas-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation that serves as the charter holder and governing entity for tuition-free public charter school programs in the Fort Worth area. It is the legal organization behind the Academy of Visual and Performing Arts (AVPA) and has also operated programs described as Summer STEM Academy.

The organization has maintained federal tax-exempt status since 2011 and files Form 990 returns; recent filings (fiscal years within the last 2–3 years) show active program and operating activity consistent with running a public charter school. In the past 2–3 years Illumination Education has supported AVPA’s enrollment and operations, published school calendars and family resources for the 2024–2025 school year, and launched a public capital campaign to support school needs.

Illumination Education functions as a donor-facing nonprofit in education: it holds the charter, governs school board activities, and receives state and federal education-related payments as a vendor while also soliciting philanthropic support for capital and programmatic initiatives.
