I'm reading through the reviews on Excel Christian Academy's Facebook page, and I wanted to share our experience because it has been very different from some of the negative comments. We have one twin with an IEP, and when we moved here from New York, his IEP came with us. The growth he has experienced at Excel -- academically, emotionally, and in confidence -- has been astounding. The specialists in that department give him personalized attention, and each teacher provides modifications to his curriculum so he isn't overwhelmed or frustrated, but is still learning. New York was good, but it wasn't anywhere near the level of support he receives at Excel.
Our other son has also grown tremendously, not just academically but in confidence, faith, and leadership. These aren't just words -- he is living proof of the positive impact Excel has had on him.
Are there imperfections? Yes. Every school has them. And if those imperfections are too much for your child or your family, then maybe Excel isn't the right fit -- there is a place meant for everyone. But for us, Excel has been exactly where our boys needed to be.
As for communication, I think Excel truly excels in that area. We have never had a situation where they weren't willing to listen or work with us. Approaching communication with love and a desire for improvement -- rather than simply attacking -- makes a huge difference.
No school is perfect, but we are grateful we found Excel. Over the past three years, we've seen major improvements in every area, and as long as they continue recognizing where growth is needed and addressing those areas, they are on track to become a flagship school in Lakeland. read more
