WHAT is EXCEL?
The EXCEL Program is designed to meet individual Junior High and High School student learning needs through a variety of opportunities:

• CCS Online: Includes accelerated, recovery, and slower-paced courses, as well as electives and optional core courses not currently available on the JH/HS campus.
• Academic support: Includes tutoring, diagnostic testing, one-on-one instruction, and possible accommodations.

WHY is CCS offering EXCEL?
Cascade Christian Schools desires to provide resources so students can reach their academic goals and achieve success in targeted areas of instruction.

In addition, Cascade Christian Schools recognizes the need to help students who have identified learning and/or organizational challenges realize their full God-given potential through providing specialized instruction.

HOW does EXCEL work?
Students attend class during the school day in room 119 in the Junior High/High School building. Two options are possible:

• Study Skills, Targeted Math, or Targeted English classes provide a small class size (6:1 with a four student minimum), where a specialized teacher works with students to provide academic support and instruction.
• Students may also utilize the CCS Online courses for their desired subject area. The classroom is supervised by the program coordinator, and tutors are present for targeted assistance.

WHY does EXCEL cost extra?
This program is offered in addition to our regular courses and is financially self-supported. Fees offset the cost of the instructors who are specialized in the courses they teach, tutors, and classroom supervision. Tuition reduction is available for those who qualify (those who already receive reduced fees automatically meet the qualifications).

WHAT are the results?
Current findings, based on grade reports, show considerable progress for the majority of students enrolled in this program.
