The Excel Center
The planned Excel Center, in Rochester NY will be a new, tuition-free high school for adults, that helps students complete their high school education and gain career credentials, launching participants towards success.
We understand that for many people, completing high school during childhood was not possible. The Excel Center meets adults where they are, providing life support such as free childcare, transportation and flexible scheduling, to ensure that all barriers to success are removed.
With the help of Teachers, Life Coaches, College and Career Counselors, Social Emotional Support Staff, and accelerated scheduling, students can take advantage of a flexible, and rigorous program.
We know that many students will come into the program with varying skills having been out of the classroom for some time. Our courses are designed to meet students where they are regardless of the number of credits that were accrued during high school. Students will progress through the program sequentially at a pace that works for them. The goal is not simply a diploma, but to develop the missing academic building blocks so that our students can fully explore their passions, excel within a future profession, and build more satisfying lives.

Bringing the Excel Center to Rochester requires a change in the law, and we are working hard to make that a reality. In 2022, legislation was introduced by Senator Cooney and Assemblyman Bronson (S3473/A1004).
