I am writing to you today to say thank you Excel High School!!! You guys rock! When my custody schedule changed, the distance made traditional school impossible. When we first learned about online high school, we were not thrilled with the idea of online education. We chose Excel because of the professional and caring staff. Jake loves going to school online and he says he wants to go to go college online too. Excel High School is the perfect place for Jake to attend High School. We are telling all of friends about Excel. I hope you have room for more students? We love the communication. Keep up the good work.

Excel High School is a great school! My daughter was in another online high school last year, but she was not challenged and was not being prepared for college. **Update** Since starting this year at Excel, she is being fully challenged in honors courses. My daughter told me the other day, “mom, I have never had to work so hard in school”. We love you Excel High School and Anna will be with you until she graduates next year.

After being scammed by a fake online school, I was very skeptic about ever considering another online high school; but because of my busy work and family schedule, I didn’t have a choice. I hoped there was a real online school out there for me. The counselor at Excel took the time to explain the importance of recognized Accreditation. Excel even took the time to have a conference call with the Technical College, to ensure that my diploma would be accepted. I am a proud graduate of Excel High School, and I am glad that I have a Real High School Diploma. Thanks for helping me and thank you for always having a friendly and supportive voice on the other end of the line.

I didn’t ever see myself as a very good student. With the economy being so bad, I was laid off of my job. I didn’t have a high school diploma, and I needed a diploma or GED to get into community college; and to get another job. Being a drop-out is really tough. Excel HS encouraged me to complete the online high school program program, so I could get into college. After I graduated, I have now started going to college online, and I hope to find a new job soon. At least I can say that I completed a high school program. I am now a college student. Being a college student sounds much, much better than saying I am a high school drop-out.

Being a Military family, it is not always easy for my son to be frequently changing schools. Thanks to Excel High School Online, he can now bring school with him wherever we get stationed. I am very impressed with the online courses, and the amazing support that we get from Chris’s instructors. After talking with the admissions staff and after searching for a week, we felt Excel was the best option for Chris. We are thankful to know that because Excel is accredited, our son Chris can attend college when he graduates. So glad you chose Excel High School.
