Education

Through challenging classes in the Elon Academy summer program and honors and AP classes in their high schools, scholars develop their reading, writing, critical thinking and quantitative analysis skills to provide a foundation for success in college-level classes. In addition, scholars learn to successfully navigate the college admissions process, secure financial aid and select the college or university that matches their interests and career goals.

Leadership

In the Elon Academy, scholars acquire the skills and confidence to take on leadership roles in their families, their schools and their communities. Whether a scholar is leading a book club discussion during the Saturday Program, interning in the local community, or working with a team of scholars to complete a project in the summer residential program, all scholars are learning critical leadership skills that will prepare them to become leaders of tomorrow.

Outreach

Academy scholars have opportunities to participate in community outreach projects. During the summer program, they regularly participate in service activities such as working in a community garden, volunteering at a senior citizen center, or building houses with Habitat for Humanity. These experiences help our scholars link classroom learning to out-of-school experiences, and instills in them a desire to make a positive difference in the world.
