NEW CHARTER SCHOOL SET TO OPEN ITS DOORS TO HUNDREDS OF HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS NEXT FALL IN PHOENIX, ARIZONA

PHOENIX, ARIZONA - Excel Preparatory Academy (EPA) is a tuition free, public charter high school located in the Phoenix, Arizona area. The school is scheduled to open in August 2011 and will provide quality education to 100 freshmen and 100 10th graders in the first year.

Excel Prep (www.excelprep.org) is a state approved charter school that is aimed at creating a high-achieving 9 - 12 high school that will be made available to students in the Phoenix Metropolitan area. The school’s innovative school model unites two experienced educational leaders – Talent Development High Schools (a John Hopkins University program) and Communities In Schools.

The school will feature:
• Small class sizes (25 students per class)
• Personal attention for every student and family
• College and Career Prep academics
• A small safe environment
• High expectations of students
• A results-oriented atmosphere
• Dual enrollment
• Supportive Faculty

The school is established by a team of dedicated educators, and is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization that is supported primarily by the state’s funds and community donations. Realistic understanding and knowledge ignited the aspiration for the team of educators to provide over and above their own expectations, extending an opportunity to ready as many students as feasible for what lies ahead, be it plans for college or a career.

“Our inspiration stems from our work in charter and district schools. The need was so great and our part was too small to reach all of the students that needed a chance at a good education,” commented one team member. “We want to extend a chance and prepare as many students as possible for the future.”
Next fall, 200 new students will relish in a tuition-free school they can call their own. Besides regular educational needs, students also benefit from additional activities and support including career academies, electives, student clubs, and sports-oriented activities.

Excel Prep is FREE to attend and open to all students in the Phoenix metro area. Excel Preparatory Academy offers a small school environment dedicated to academic excellence. We are located at 11640 N. 19th Ave, Phoenix, AZ 85029
