EXCEL CENTER FOR ADULT LEARNERS

Excel Center For Adult Learners is a public charter high school that is part of the Excel Center - Michigan Street school district, located in Indianapolis, IN with about 953 students offering grade levels from 10th Grade to 12th Grade. Student demographics can be found below. With about 37 teachers, Excel Center For Adult Learners has a student/teacher ratio of about 25:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

The Excel Center, located on West Michigan Street in Indianapolis, is a unique public charter high school specifically designed to meet the needs of adult learners who have previously dropped out of the traditional school system. Unlike standard high schools, the Excel Center offers a flexible, accelerated curriculum that allows students to earn a state-recognized Core 40 high school diploma rather than a GED. The school environment is tailored to the lives of working adults, offering year-round instruction, multiple start dates, and morning or evening scheduling options to accommodate those balancing jobs and family responsibilities.

Beyond academics, the Excel Center distinguishes itself by providing a comprehensive support system aimed at removing barriers to success. Students are assigned personal "life coaches" who help them navigate challenges like transportation, childcare, and time management. The program also integrates career readiness initiatives, allowing students to earn industry-recognized certifications and dual-credit college courses at no cost. By focusing on both academic attainment and post-graduation career placement, the Excel Center serves as a bridge for adults seeking to increase their earning potential and improve their long-term economic stability.
