What are the safety measures put into place?

At ELI, safety is not just a policy—it’s a commitment. Unlike traditional schools, where security can vary, ELI implements a robust Safe School Plan that all students and parents receive upon enrollment.

Our comprehensive safety measures include:

  1. Keypad/FOB Entry Access – Every door accessing our school space requires secure keypad/FOB entry, ensuring controlled access at all times.

  2. Doors Remain Locked – During school hours, all entrances are locked from the outside, maintaining a safe and secure environment for students and staff

  3. Regular Safety Drills – Fire, storm, and lockdown drills are conducted routinely to ensure preparedness in any emergency scenario.

  4. Local Emergency Partnerships – ELI has an active partnership with the Knightdale Police and Fire Department, ensuring first responders are familiar with our location and safety plan in case of emergency.

  5. Small Class Ratios for Personalized Supervision – With a 1:15 teacher-student ratio, every child receives the attention, guidance, and oversight needed for academic success and personal safety.

  6. Controlled Learning Environment – ELI provides a structured, nurturing space where children can focus on their studies without worrying about distractions or risks commonly found in large school settings.
