This makes a lot of sense!

As for the private school thing, EAH is definitely a private school, since it's restricted to teenagers with legacies to follow, and those teenagers specifically. I also headcanon that depending on the social-economic class of the character, some students' families might pay less for the school, while other students might have the high-school equivalence of "student debt", so to speak, as in, they might pay back the school later post-destiny. Also since EAH is super prestigious, I'm sure some rich royals wouldn't mind putting some funds into it.
