Letter to the Providence City Council

Strengthening Our Community Through Education

My name is Reyna Ramirez. I am a proud member of the Excel Academy Rhode Island community and a parent of children who attend the school. Our family has lived in Providence for more than 30 years, and I chose Excel Academy for my children’s education because of its unique educational approach and philosophy. “When the whole child excels, our community excels.”

Excel Academy’s curriculum offerings align closely with my beliefs about education. Excel is known for its focus on academic achievement and innovation. They offer a rigorous academic program and high standards of performance. Excel also works hard on community engagement by building strong partnerships with families and creating opportunities for connections, such as the Parent Leadership Committee I am a member of.

Moreover, I chose Excel Academy because its mission, values, and philosophy align with my
beliefs and priorities as a parent. I prioritize access to excellence in education, diversity,
social justice, innovation and flexibility, and strong parent involvement.

Lastly, establishing Excel Academy will positively impact our neighborhood and community. By providing quality education and fostering a culture of excellence, this school will attract families to our area, stimulating economic growth and creating a vibrant, thriving community.
