enrollment benefits
Core Structure: All students at ELI must either be enrolled as private school students with ELI or through an NC virtual academy. This ensures that their academic records and benefits remain intact and transfer seamlessly should they transition to a public or charter school in the future.
Academic & Social Benefits: NC Virtual Academy provides tuition-free education with diverse programs, including gifted and talented options, AP courses, special education services, English language programs, and college-credit courses. ELI enhances this experience with private tutoring, structured schedules, and enrichment activities that ensure students thrive academically and socially. ELI’s private school enrollment offers a nationally accredited curriculum in addition to a structured schedule, enrichment activities, and personalized learning experiences that ensure students thrive.
A Strong, Supportive Community: Through both a virtual academy and ELI, students enjoy access to clubs, extracurricular activities, and Esports teams, while benefiting from ELI’s dedicated learning space, small class sizes, and enriching field trips to foster friendships and social growth.
