About the Excel Experience

With a strong academic foundation and essential life skills, Excel Academy’s students will build a solid foundation which will lead to independent, self-supporting lives. Through our college preparatory mission starting in the youngest grades, we will build relationships with families that culminate with our high school placement counselor working with students and their families in the 7^th grade to identify opportunities for placement at high performing senior high schools.

Our mission will be fully realized when in the 8^th grade each student and a family member(s) will visit boarding schools, local private and parochial schools and high performing charter or traditional public schools. We anticipate that privately raised funds will offset testing and other application costs and provide other resources essential to ensuring a student’s continued success in high school: uniforms, books, tutoring and counseling. We plan to work with private sector foundations to offset the costs of providing long-term support for students: college visits, college applications and testing, visits home if away at a boarding school, and other types of support to ensure college graduation within five years of high school graduation.
