"There are no words to express the gratitude I have for this school, its teachers, its way of teaching and the overall support it provides my son and his work. Before Excel my son was bored at school and now he sees what going the extra mile really means and he loves it! I’ve never regretted my decision to send him to this school; the hard work definitely pays off - just look at the MCAS scores!"

- Anita Cunha, parent of an Excel Academy 7th grader
“Excel has prepared me for life by making me into a respectful young leader. Everyday having to shake hands with someone and responding to every question in a respectful manner has trained me to be a very well mannered person. Also Excel has prepared me for life because they have taught me how to make choices that will benefit me in the future. A quote that always stuck in my mind was "let the choices you make today be the choices you can live with tomorrow". Being a respectful person is guaranteed to get you far in life”

- Fernando Martinez: Excel Academy Class of 2011, Concord Academy Class of 2015, College Class of 2019
“My favorite subject is science because it is full of surprises. You can’t really predict anything because it is such a spontaneous study. I LOVE science!”

- Omar Frometa: Excel Class of 2013, High School Class of 2017, College Class of 2021

"Because of Excel, I now attend Groton School where I am able to understand and enjoy what is going on in my classes."

- Anna Maria Cordova: Excel Academy Class of 2011, Groton School Class of 2015, College Class of 2019

"Excel is closing the achievement gap by knocking down barriers that prohibit low income students to feel, think and act successful. By having teachers that drive the curriculum and a staff that is committed to change; our students know that they are supported even when they make mistakes."
- CeSea Saunders: Director of Post-Secondary Support

"As a nation, we’ve created a pipeline to prison, not jobs or self-fulfillment. Excel isn’t afraid to face these statistics with high expectations for students and staff. And Excel has shown that winning the battle is possible."

- Meghan Welch: Excel-East Boston, Dean of Students

“I think that Excel's plan of opening additional schools is a great idea because more kids can receive the opportunity to be in an environment that truly cares about your education and future.”

-Diana Metaute: Excel Academy Class of 2009, Newman School Class of 2013, College Class of 2017

"Excel is without question the most engaging, supportive, collaborative environment in which I've worked. I'm stunned on a daily basis by the level of intellectual effort that teachers and staff put into teaching and supporting our students. It's not an exaggeration to say that working at Excel is like being part of a super-smart, compassionate, and sometimes kooky little family."

- Maureen Foley: Excel-East Boston, 6th Grade Math Teacher
