What Services Can ESA+ Funds Be Used For?
North Carolina guidelines permit scholarship funding to be directly applied toward evidence-based academic interventions, remediation tracks, and formal diagnostics that directly support a child’s learning goals. At Swan Learning Center, our comprehensive suite of programs cleanly aligns with these approved parameters, offering parents a seamless, state-backed way to deliver intensive educational support.
Our allowable services cover all core subjects and specialized learning pathways. Families can utilize active funding accounts to cover diagnostic student Assessments, intensive foundational Reading instruction, customized computational Math development, and mechanical Writing refinement tracks. For older intermediate or secondary students, approved accounts can also be applied toward structured Academic Coaching frameworks, functional Study Skills development, and target university SAT Prep strategies.
