History of ELANCOnline

ELANCOnline was developed in 2011 to provide a quality virtual education experience for the learners attending Garden Spot High School. Over the past several years, our program has expanded to serve all K-12 learners in the Eastern Lancaster County School District. EOL now provides a curriculum and education that is equivalent to the brick-and-mortar courses within the school building. It also provides extended opportunities to match the diverse needs of the ELANCO learner population.
