Most people think traditional school is the only option for their child's education but EI Academy is done virtually with real, local teachers, and with devices and wi-fi provided at no cost.
It's not homeschool.
It's through USD 259 and has no additional tuition - it's just like enrolling in another public school.
Even though school has started, EI Academy is still accepting students looking for a change, but time and space is limited.
The curriculum is tailored to each student and allows them to work at their own pace and on their own schedule.
They offer elective courses and extra curriculars such as E-Sports, and provide in-person opportunities multiple times a week at their building centrally located at Main and Waterman.
