What We Do:

ExCEL Academic League is a non-profit organization which is intended to give homeschooled students opportunities to participate in group activities. We have a Co-op which meets once a week and offers a variety of classes that enhance the core education the students receive at home. We also organize a variety of nationally sanctioned academic competitions and teams such as Science Bowl, National Geographic Bee, Word Power Challenge and Science Olympiad. ExCEL thus provides opportunities for families to support one another's educational efforts as we strive for excellence.

Mission Statement:

Our purpose is to offer challenging academic opportunities and peer support to homeschool students and their families in order to help build strong leaders, independent thinkers and service minded individuals.  Specifically, we will:

  • Provide opportunities for academic challenges
  • Provide forum of supportive peers and family for recognition and presentation
  • Provide age appropriate opportunities
  • Promote development of leadership skills
  • Encourage social opportunities
  • Provide resources and encouragement for new and established homeschool parents
  • Discover opportunities for service in the community
