Welcome to EXCEL Academy Public Charter School
EXCEL Academy Public Charter School is the longest-operating public charter school in Prince George’s County, Maryland. Currently located in Landover, EXCEL Academy is a school of choice that serves kindergarten through eighth-grade students.
EXCEL Academy is a candidate school* for the International Baccalaureate (IB) Primary Years Programme and is pursuing authorization as an IB World School.
IB World Schools share a common philosophy—a commitment to improving the teaching and learning of a diverse and inclusive community of students by delivering challenging, high-quality programs of international education that share a powerful vision.**
EXCEL Academy Public Charter School develops compassionate lifelong learners through inquiry-based learning experiences. These experiences cultivate intercultural understanding through innovative teaching techniques and community partnerships, with rigorous and culturally engaging academic and social learning opportunities.
*Only schools authorized by the International Baccalaureate can offer any of its four academic programmes: The Primary Years Programme (PYP), the Middle Years Programme (MYP), the Diploma Programme or the Career-related Programme (CP). Candidate status gives no guarantee that authorization will be granted.
