E.B.L.A. Academy was started in 1999.  The original purpose of the Academy was to allow gifted students the opportunity to work at a faster than normal pace.

They could attend school year round with the possibility of graduating earlier.

Admission was based on interview only in which each student had to showcase some hidden or obvious talent.

In 2001, we opened our doors to begin taking on students from traditional school systems.

We no longer work with only gifted students, but students from all walks of life.

We have come to realize that when everyone is given a sincere and enriching opportunity, they can accomplish anything.
