The course material is very well put together and the teachers for each course are great. The only issue I had was multiple quizzes did not sync their grade after I took them, resulting in having to retake them. Other then that, it's an amazing school :)

Amazing & easy to comprehend
The staff responds quick so they’re great at communicating with you. The courses overall are easy to comprehend plus they have an audio button option so they can read it out loud for you. 10/10 experience. Although I wasn’t able to go to school in person I’m glad I was able to finish online & quick! Recommend this school!

The director of Academics
The director of Academics, Max- is the best person to talk to. The school itself is fantastic, and any issues I had- I spoke to him. He said "I'm in your corner, and I promise you I will have this resolved." And it was. Not only is a solid, trusted school system necessary, but also having an administrator or leader you can trust- especially when the interaction is over the phone or even through email. Max helped my anxiety go away, and I can definitely say I'll be re-enrolling for my senior year!

This school is a joke
This school is a joke. All they care is about getting their payment. My son has done online schooling at different institutions and this schools by far the worst. You can't get in touch with the teacher for guidance, if you call them all but 1 representative was rude, condescending, and not helpful at all. If I could do it over I would have never enrolled him here. If I could give no stars I would. This school was a waste of time and money.

Thank you Excel
I just wanted to take a moment to say a heartfelt thank you to everyone at Excel. Receiving my diploma today means the world to me — and it’s all thanks to your amazing support, dedication, and the opportunity you gave me to complete my high school journey.

Excellent way to get a high school diploma for teenagers and adults, great student services, with advisors that keep you motivated and answer your questions in no time. Great support from everyone. My diploma reached earlier than expected, through courier, even in the remote part of the world where I live.

Free Education
I am currently enrolled and have been for 1 month the experience is not only educational but informative as well. Topics are based off of everyday topics and the courses itself are self paced, with a deadline of when overall completion should be. The administrators will check in from time to time which is sort of reassuring for me personally. I look forward to graduation and being able to start my nursing career and giving my family the life we deserve!

Today, my diploma arrived :)
I finished Adult Learning Fast Track in about 7 months, and got my diploma. Courses are well structured and organized and academic support staff is excellent.
I am so thankful for the opportunity programs like this provide. This gives an affordable chance for education to those of us who couldn't go through regular schooling system in our youth. It truly is a blessing.
Never had any issues in any request I made, tickets were answered within a few hours to a day, and really urgent stuff, was usually resolved within an hour (during work hours of course).
Most classes are combination of video and text, with some classes providing an audio transcript of the textual part - a very welcome addition for someone like me, who has visual impairment.
Classes themselves are well structured and the quiz pacing is very useful, as it helps with retention of study material. Out of 22 courses taken, only one (Public Speaking) was frustratingly bad. Every other course, especially Math, Science and Psychology, were top notch in both structure and presentation.
The Art and English course, while somewhat demanding in terms of submissions required, helped me learn a lot - mostly about myself.
Some evaluations of written essays ARE done by AI, but if you disagree with that evaluation, state your case in the ticket system and academic support sorts it out within a few hours to a day usually. I have done this a few times, and never had any issues - all my work was re-evaluated by a teacher and my scores corrected accordingly if needed.
In fact, the best part about this school is the staff. especially the academic support staff. Mr. Fechner and Mrs. Berndt - you two have my eternal thanks for the encouragement and help you provided.
All in all, I had excellent experience and I recommend it. I finally have my diploma now at age of 47, and couldn't be happier about it.
I'm going to miss the thrill of clicking on the quiz button.
I wish you all a very happy life.
Big Hug
Alex

Terrible and don't recommend for teenager and kids
Question and answers in accurate. Too expensive for just reading and answering questions. Online schools that are for free have so much more options and choices such as club. They made me pay for a couch who isn't even available for teaching but only for tech support.
