Bellevue Campus
Welcome to ELI’s Bellevue Campus, a warm, structured learning environment designed for students with learning differences, neurodivergent profiles, and social-emotional needs. Our Bellevue campus focuses on small classes, individualized supports, and a strengths-based approach so each student can learn with dignity, safety, and purpose.
WHO WE SERVE
Bellevue is ideal for students who benefit from individualized instruction, predictable routines, and targeted support. Our programs are tailored to learners with diagnoses or needs such as:
- Autism (Level 1 and Level 2)
- ADHD (mild through moderate–severe)
- Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD)
- Anxiety that affects school participation
- Sensory processing challenges that impact focus
- Intellectual or cognitive impairments
- Twice-exceptional (2e) presentations and other learning differences
We meet students where they are and design supports that help them access academics, build skills, and feel successful in school.
PROGRAM LEVELS AT BELLEVUE
Level 1 — Full Day Standard Program
Designed for students with mild to moderate behavioral or mental health needs, Level 1 offers:
+ Small class sizes for a calm, focused learning environment
+ Daily access to 1:1 support as needed, with staff available to provide extra redirection or assistance
+ Structured schedules with the ability to take supervised, frequent breaks to help students manage sensory or emotional needs
+ Typical student profiles: Autism Level 1, mild–moderate ADHD, moderate anxiety, sensory challenges that intermittently affect concentration, FASD, or cognitive support needs.
+ 1:1 support may be used periodically but is not required throughout the day.
Level 1 supports students who benefit from predictable routines, low student-to-staff ratios, and the flexibility to step away and reset when needed.
Level 2 —Full Day Standard Program with 1:1 Support
Level 2 is for students who require dedicated, daily 1:1 paraprofessional support while remaining in a classroom setting. Features include:
+ Full day with a dedicated paraeducator assigned to the student for individualized support
+ Classroom placement that prioritizes inclusion and access to peers while ensuring safety and attention to needs
+ Supports for students with: Autism Level 1–2, moderate–severe ADHD with high movement needs, demand avoidance, moderate–severe anxiety that leads to frequent breaks/separations, FASD, or significant cognitive needs requiring continuous redirection and intervention
+ Structured opportunities to decompress with supervised breaks and sensory supports integrated into the day
Level 2 maintains classroom involvement while providing intensive, consistent support so students can maximize learning and participation.
