AMAZING CLASSES
“I can not say enough about Excel. I am so grateful to be apart of this charter school so that my children can utilize the funding for amazing classes. Every class/lesson that I want my child to partake in so far has been an approved content and community provider through the school. Because of this my children have been able to experience a wide variety of extracurricular activities. We also have been able to use our funding cover curriculums and materials. My Teacher of Record is extremely knowledgeable about all the different curriculums out there and has been able to always suggest the best fit for my kids. Working with Excel Charter school has been a huge blessing in our homeschool journey.” - Kimberley H., Mission Viejo, CA - homeschool mom of 3

PROPER EDUCATION AND MOTIVATIONAL TECHNIQUES
“I just wanted to drop a note about our Excel Approved tutor, Helai Miller with Temecula Tutor. When we began with her last year, my student, Carli was a full grade behind in math. Because of Mrs. Miller’s patience, diligence and knowledge regarding proper education and motivational techniques, Carli is growing by leaps and bounds. By continuing with Temecula Tutor, I just know that by the beginning of the coming school year, Carli will be at grade level in math. Mrs. Miller is supportive, gracious, kind, firm and educated!” - Nicolette, Murrieta, CA - homeschool Mom of 2
