ESA in North Carolina

North Carolina families can use ESA funds for homeschool curriculum.

North Carolina's ESA+ provides $9,000/year (up to $17,000 for high-need disabilities) for students with an eligibility determination. Wizkoo is $499/year — one line item, not the whole budget.

As of April 2026

Using your North Carolina ESA for Wizkoo
One line item in your ClassWallet account.

Wizkoo is a personalized weekly learning platform for families with children ages 2 to 12. One theme connects every subject. Every child at the table gets a plan matched to their age and reading level.

At $50/month or $499/year, Wizkoo fits within North Carolina's ESA+ funding.

Wizkoo is not yet listed on ClassWallet. We're in the approval process and will update this page when approved.

In the meantime, families in states that allow direct reimbursement for educational software subscriptions may be able to use ESA funds for Wizkoo by submitting a receipt. Check with the NC State Education Assistance Authority (NCSEAA) before purchasing.
