Four Schools Descriptions
School A: Excellence Academy
Educators at Excellence Academy believe that some kids are gifted and more talented than others. It is our responsibility to push the kids hard and it is the students responsibility to do whatever is necessary to achieve. They provide great teaching to all kids, but some kids will just do better than others. The educators know that some kids just will not do as well due to a learning challenge or poor parental support. They treat everyone well, but it isn’t fair to expect similar high levels of learning from the kids that are more challenged. Excellence Academy finds a place for all kids by creating special classes including honors, AP, and general courses to make sure kids can find success. They work hard to ensure the top of the class is challenged and excels as they are the leaders of tomorrow.

The educators pride themselves on building strong lessons and fulfilling their responsibilities as a teacher. They deliver the curriculum, the students need to do their job of learning.
