Overview
Brief Program Summary: The Excel Center is a tuition-free public high school for adults offering
an Indiana Core 40 high school diploma. Students at The Excel Center have “coaches” who help
address challenges with transportation, child care, health and family situations — circumstances
that can hinder progress in school. Free child care is provided on-site for the young children of
students while they are in class. The Excel Center’s locations are open year-round, mornings
through evenings. Classes can be scheduled to fit each student’s situation. Curriculum materials
meet Indiana state standards, and the school’s design enables students to accelerate credit
attainment.
