Visit Excel and experience the difference

Step through the doors at Grand Rapids' Excel Charter Academy and you’ll see the difference. You can expect to be greeted by office staff eager to assist. You will find the office, hallways, and classrooms full of parents, like you, who value education and spend part of their day helping at Excel.

Walk through our hallways and you will see the difference. You are welcomed into our Moral Focus Hallway, where students are encouraged to be pillars of virtue. Walls proclaim our commitment to the Greek Cardinal Virtues of temperance, fortitude, justice, and prudence. Awards adorn the walls recognizing students for their virtuous behavior.

Look into classrooms and you’ll see the difference. You’ll find students hard at work, attentive, and engaged. You’ll see teachers working together with paraprofessionals to individualize learning plans for students, pushing those who need a bigger challenge and coming along-side those who need extra help.

Spend time with our students, staff, and families and you will see the difference. You will find a committed and caring community, all working together to offer our children the best that we can. You will find an atmosphere of cooperation and mutual respect, a true partnership between school and home.

At Excel Charter Academy, students are challenged to be the best they can be. Smaller class sizes, individualized attention, rigorous academics, and character education all contribute toward providing excellence in education. It’s the people, though, who really make the difference by encouraging and supporting our students. Excellence is never an accident. Dedicated staff members and involved parents work together to train the hearts and minds of our students.
Excel Charter Academy is an extraordinary school where every elementary and middle school child is challenged to achieve.

Our Mission-Our Promise

Each day at Excel begins with the Pledge of Allegiance followed by our school’s pledge:

“We, the students, parents and staff members of Excel Charter Academy, will work diligently to pursue our goals of high moral character and academic excellence.”

This is both our mission and our promise to you-
We WILL work diligently to offer your child the best possible education, one that will feed your child’s intellect and touch your child’s heart.

“We must remember that intelligence is not enough. Intelligence plus character -that is the goal of true education.” 
Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. 1948
