EXCEL will embrace the rich cultural and historical experiences of West
Oakland and continue to build a network of graduates who contribute to
this community through service and activism. We will provide an environment
that values and honors all individuals, our collective histories, and our shared
and diverse cultures within a positive school climate marked by high
expectations, academic rigor and a relevant curriculum. Students will be
empowered to be change agents and critical thinkers with the ability to
problem solve and effectively communicate who they are through various
forms of expression.
Every student will be prepared to attend a 2 or 4 year college and
succeed in college. EXCEL maintains high expectations, provides
rigorous learning experiences and requires content mastery. EXCEL has
created a college-going culture where students believe that a college
education is their next step.
