Start with no loans
End with no debt

Innovation didn't just stop at our educational model. After all, what's the point of education if you can't afford it? See how we've made a better way.

Student Loan Debt Is A Crisis In Our Nation

Renowned author and psychologist Jordan Peterson once compared student loan debt to indentured servitude. It’s a burden that has crippled many from the millennial generation. How can you walk into a life of flourishing when you are crippled by debt? Generation Z is entering university age and facing the same challenges.

We've Come Up WithA Better Way

We’ve developed a 3-way partnership model that allows Excel College and it’s partners, the student, and their parents to share the responsibility for the cost of tuition, room, and board. Through allocated time for work/earning a wage in both the Core and Practicum phases, students will graduate having funded at least 35% of their own education – and without taking out a single loan.

Student Testimonial

“Any time I talk to my peers in traditional college, they almost always bring up paying off their student loans. Meanwhile, I’m not only able to make money but also save money due to Excel’s unique tuition model.”

What Parents Are Saying

Testimonials

We are so grateful to the Lord and to the leadership for our daughter to have these opportunities for growth and development through Excel! In addition to completing her bachelor's degree, she has grown and blossomed in every area, and learned to face challenges that produce a type of growth that take most of us decades in our everyday lives, while being surrounded by people who care about and support her through the process. What an incredible catapult into a healthy and productive life ahead!

As a parent of an Excel student, I can't speak highly enough about the school, which is unlike any other. Students grow in their thinking, maturity, and their love of Jesus and others, and benefit greatly from living in a community. Excel is a hidden gem in the beautiful mountains of Western NC. I highly recommend Excel to prospective students and their parents!

My daughter was unsure about attending Excel... Now that she's attended and is beginning her practicum, she cannot imagine her life having not experienced it. What a parent can teach only goes so far. Excel takes things to the next level in a way that changes someone from the inside out but yet transforms each student into a beacon of light that touches everyone around them thereafter.
