Welcome to QEI

Quality Education Institute of Durham is a full-service private nonprofit school located in the lovely southeastern community of Durham, North Carolina. QEI of Durham's mission is to develop the student holistically by creating a God-centered environment that is conducive for productive learning, fine-tuning character while encouraging each student at his/her maximum ability through a rigorous, accelerated curriculum.

Your child is embarking on a very important phase of his/her life. It is in these elementary school years that the foundation is laid for their future endeavors. Research has shown that the extent to which your child is actively and positively involved during these formative years sets the tone for his/her future performance and success throughout school and life. Also, during the early school years, children develop and enhance their individualized learning styles. QEI staff members are dedicated to assist in directing your child in his/her social, intellectual, moral, spiritual, and physical development.

Thus, the Administration and Staff of QEI are excited to welcome you and your child(ren) to this wonderful learning institution.

From the Principal's Desk

I am excited to welcome all of our QEI students and families back to finish the 2023-2024 school year! I pray that you all had a wonderful, restful and amazing Winter Break! As we prepare to return to school tomorrow, January 2nd, there are a couple of things to remember:

We have entered into what is normally the coldest portion on the winter. From January 2nd through March 1st our female students are not required to wear a dress, skirt or skort on days where the temperature is 32° F or lower. However, we are still requiring them to wear navy blue bottoms and a white button up shirt.

We are now open for the 24-25 enrollment process. If you know of anyone who is interested in attending, please have them visit our website or contact me directly for more information or to schedule a visit.

The NCSEEA Scholarship has lifted the income cap for students to attend private schools. The application for the 2024-2025 school year will open February 1st and close in early March. Every parent is encouraged to apply. The Scholarship amount for the 24-25 has increased to over $7,000 for the year.

Tuition will increase for all students WHO ARE NEW TO QEI for the 2024-2025 school year. Students who are currently enrolled, will remain at the current amount. Additional student discounts will still apply for new students, with a sibling currently enrolled.

Intent to return forms will be sent home February 1st and the $550 academic fee will be required by March 11, 2024.

If you are interested in helping us spread the word about our little treasure that is QEI, and are willing to do so, please pick up a yard sign from the office with our information to place in your yard.

If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact your child's teacher or the office. We are looking forward to an awesome winter and spring, as we enter into the 2nd half of our 23-24 school year.
