Who is eligible to apply for EFL Virtual?
Students who have completed their sophomore or junior year in high school can attend EFL Virtual. Students who are currently in their senior year of high school are not eligible.
What are the application requirements?
All students will need to create an online account to start the application. An essay is required. A $35 non-refundable processing fee is also charged at the time of submission.
A complete transcript of all high school courses taken and grades received is required. An unofficial transcript is acceptable; however, all transcripts must include the student name and school name. If you have attended more than one high school or have additional coursework to show, you may upload additional files. A transcript from only the current semester or year will not be considered complete by the Admissions Committee.
A letter of recommendation is also required from a counselor, teacher, coach, or other adult who can offer a comprehensive assessment of the student’s performance. Please allow time for your recommender to complete the online recommendation form.
Your application will not be considered complete until ALL pieces of the application have been submitted and received, including the payment of the $25 fee. Exceptions for partial transcripts or incomplete letters of recommendation will typically not be granted, even if all other parts of the application have been completed.
Please note, the admissions committee will only accept one student per high school to a given EFL Virtual program. If there are multiple students applying from the same high school to the same week, priority will be given to the student who first submitted their completed application. We encourage applicants to consider their top three program choices when applying.
