I like Excelsiors commitment to our success; our community strives for every student to walk a golden path to a bright future. Everyday teachers persist on getting students to apply for summer internships, programs and volunteering opportunities.

So far Excelsior Preparatory has been very nice. It's a little sad because I had a whole year taken away because of the pandemic, it's still a fun experience and the staff and fellow students are really nice and vibrant. The academic programs they provide here like College Now or other programs that are linked to this school are very good too. So overall it's a good experience and I want to enjoy more of it for my next two years.

Their focus on STEM is extraordinary and they ensure all of their students are prepared for college. They also offer great programs that help prepare you for future careers and colleges like SEO Scholars, Sophie Davis, and College Now.
