Excel College 12 Florida Avenue, Black Mountain, NC 28711

"In just a few months of my son being at Excel College, I can see he has gained more confidence. He is even more engaged in conversation and in critical thought. He went to Excel for community and personal growth, and I know he is surrounded with solid mentorship and peers who intentionally pursue growth with him, and for him. From a parent's perspective, I can sense that he's exactly where he needs to be."

"Our daughter initially enrolled at Excel College because the critical thinking program through the Socratic method caught her attention. After visiting during a recruitment weekend with her, Ken and I were sold not only on the program, but also on the exceptional community she would be living in. Our daughter has grown exponentially in her leadership skills, her communication skills, and in her personal spiritual growth because of Excel's passion and pursuit to mentor and disciple the students. Excel's unique educational model is a refreshing option to higher education because the goal truly is to help students build a life, not just a living. We have watched our daughter turn into a mature, considerate, honoring adult with compassion towards others, a servant's heart beyond her years, and leadership skills that most adults long to have. If you're even a little bit intrigued or interested in Excel's unique program, visit campus! One truly can't explain Excel; one must experience it!" -Kristine S., C5 parent"

"Our daughter came to Excel because it appealed to her creativity. She wanted to gain skill and knowledge to prepare for the workforce but questioned whether the traditional model was right for her. At Excel, she has found that the context to learn and grow while living and working in a discipleship setting was just what she needed. Everything about the Excel model made sense to her- zero debt, focus on gaining wisdom and learning in the context of real life, learning how to be part of community in a meaningful way. During her time at Excel, she has flourished! She has gained confidence and poise and learned how to engage ideas in a humble way that keeps truth and Christ at the center while honoring the person or author across from her. Excel is training our daughter to think deeply, to love well, and to serve humbly. It has exceeded our expectations all around! We highly recommend Excel."

"WE LOVE EXCEL. My wife Missy and I always believed there was a better way for college, and Excel is it. The no debt, work while you school, Christian/Community immersion is exactly what we were looking for. Our son is on the autism spectrum and needs to be "encouraged". Excel is doing just that and giving him an opportunity he would never have at a "Christian” University."

"My husband and I were immediately intrigued with Excel's unique educational model when first learning about the school. Our daughter was finishing Cosmetology school and had not planned to get a college degree. However, she was drawn towards this idea of community and discipleship while earning a degree and made the decision to begin Excel immediately following the finish of her trade school. She is thriving. She is learning so much through critical thinking, discussion and debate. She is also growing as a whole person; not only in her intellect. We now have another child who has been captured by this school concept and will join his sister in January at Excel. We are very excited for his journey to begin and expectant of all the Lord will do in both of them, and through both them in the years to come. Jen M, C8 parent"
