Mission Statement
Excel Academy will provide a flexible, personalized learning experience where teachers and parents collaborate to provide academic excellence and social and emotional foundations to instill a love for learning in each individual student.
Our Vision
Life is what you create….at Excel Academy we bring students to LIFE through:
LEARNING: At Excel Academy students progress in knowledge, ability and social/emotional foundations. Curriculum and staff will provide a personalized learning plan inherent to the uniqueness of every student and learning situation. Excel Academy pursues a learning environment where every student will be challenged by, enjoy, and help direct their own education.
INDEPENDENCE: Excel Academy believes one of the key elements of an optimal education is to prepare each student for real-life complexities and independent learning. Excel Academy’s curriculum options not only align to California’s academic content standards but offer alternative and supplemental learning resources that place the student in a climate where curiosity and exploration are rewarded.
FLEXIBILITY: Flexible pacing enables each Excel Academy student, under the guidance of the teacher of record, to target individual needs without the demands of a classroom. By developing an awareness of their own unique learning style and advancement in their communication abilities, students and families will be enabled to discover their greatest areas of need and direct their efforts accordingly.
EMPOWERMENT: Excel Academy strives to empower students to take ownership of their education and develop not only the appropriate knowledge, skills, and abilities, but also the confidence, creativity, and discipline to help them adapt to challenges and opportunities.
