We employ an interdisciplinary approach. Reading and writing skills, for
example, are taught not only in English classes, but also in science and
history as well. Likewise, math concepts are covered in science, economics
and other courses when relevant. In addition, SAT /ACT prep are covered
within the framework of the regular high school English and math classes,
as well as in after hours elective courses. This allows the students a
greater familiarity with (and a greater success in Taking) College Board
tests when they are preparing to apply for the best colleges.
Our educational philosophy works not
only for high achievers, but also for those who have the ability to
succeed, but who have not had a proper educational atmosphere which
allowed for that outcome.
We truly believe and have demonstrated
by our sat scores and our students' records of acceptances to many
distinguished colleges and universities that every Excelsior School
student can be successful.
