Certificate of Eligibility
Virtualis School for Classical Learning is a qualified school for ESA expenditures under the Arizona Department of Education.
Article I
The Empowerment Scholarship Account is Arizona's landmark school choice program. Since 2022, the ESA has been universal -- every K-12 student in Arizona is eligible, regardless of income, zip code, or prior enrollment.
Instead of routing education dollars through a district, the state deposits funds directly into a parent-controlled ClassWallet account. You decide how to spend those dollars on your child's education: tuition, curriculum, tutoring, technology, and approved services.
The ESA puts the power of educational choice where it belongs -- in your hands.
Article II
Your ESA Grant
~$7,000
per student, per year
This may cover your entire Virtualis tuition. Students with special needs may qualify for additional funding.
The ESA grant amount is set annually by the Arizona legislature. For the most current figures, visit azed.gov/esa (opens in new tab) or contact our admissions team.
Article III
Submit your ESA application through the Arizona Department of Education portal (opens in new tab). The application is straightforward and typically processed within 30 days.
Once approved, you will receive access to your ClassWallet account. This is where the state deposits your ESA funds each quarter.
Funds are deposited quarterly into your ClassWallet. You can view your balance, track spending, and manage payments all in one place.
Select Virtualis School for Classical Learning as your education provider. Our admissions team will guide you through connecting your ESA to your enrollment.
Your child begins their classical Christian education with Great Hearts academics, Vitae Health formation, and the full Virtualis experience -- funded by your ESA.
