Education
Beyond the Classroom

We cultivate learning experiences where children and youth grow in relationship with God, others, and the world around them while developing skills that bless families and communities.

Serving Kids, Serving Families

We’ve created a community for whole families to grow together. We serve kids through a holistic slate of programs ranging from education to arts, activities, and adventure. We serve families by creating connection points for parents and children, creating spaces for parents to deepen relationships with God and others, and partnering with parents in the teaching and discipling of our children.

Testimonials

We are so grateful to be connected at Excel Academy. We really had no idea the blessings that would come with joining CC Black Mountain when we started out. Our family began attending in Fall of 2020. In that year, with utter chaos in the world around us, we found peace, stability, normalcy, friendship, safety, and a like-minded community of homeschooling, solid believers. Not only that, but we love, respect, value, and trust the leadership at Excel Academy which is the most important piece to me as a parent

Amber Ratliff, Excel Academy Parent

Since we joined the Excel Academy 18 months ago, this community has been an incredible blessing and has far-exceeded our hopes for our son/family. Our Excel Academy truly is God-centric (often said, rarely practiced), which echoes through everything, everywhere. Every conversation. Every situation. Every activity. Though we are not perfect, having the common thread of Jesus and the foundation of Biblical Truth creates a community of peace, grace, and love.
