About the Academy

Educational Philosophy

 

At The Excel Project Reading Success Academy, we believe:

​

• Every child can learn.

• Every child deserves the gift of reading because it opens the door to learning, confidence, opportunity, and leadership.

• Every child learns differently.

• ​

With patience, encouragement, consistency, and effective teaching strategies, every child has the ability to become a successful reader.
