EXCEL Academy employs an innovative collaboration of the Calvert School curriculum and the Prince Georges County Public Schools’ curriculum.  The Calvert School curriculum is an internationally recognized and approved curriculum from the Calvert School. Our teachers integrate facets of the Prince Georges County Public Schools’ curriculum  based upon individual students’ academic needs.  To ensure reading achievement for our students, EXCEL Academy uses the Literacy First process in its reading instruction.  Character Education, Art, Health, and technology are also part of the Excel Academy culture.  A strong culture of parental participation in school operations and governance is a vital and pivotal facet of EXCEL Academy Public Charter School.
