About ExcelPrep Schools:
ExcelPrep Schools is a mission-driven private education organization serving neurodiverse children through structured, research-based instruction and purposeful programming. Our mission is simple and unwavering: to prioritize the academic and social success of neurodiverse learners. We are committed to delivering high-quality academic and therapeutic programming through a professional, agile approach that supports meaningful learning outcomes.
Our Programs:
ExcelPrep provides two distinct programs designed to meet the needs of diverse learners:
PreK–8 Academic Program: Grounded in Direct Instruction and Precision Teaching, instruction focuses on core academic skills—reading, writing, and mathematics—through explicit, systematic teaching that emphasizes mastery, fluency, and generalization.
Clinical ABA Program (Ages 3–13): A cognition- and linguistics-based ABA program focused on building cognitive skills and supporting social behavior learning within a structured instructional environment. Instruction is individualized, data-driven, and directed toward foundational skill development that promotes learning, communication, and independence.
Instructional Pillars (Across Programs)
Across both programs, ExcelPrep centers the following core practices:
Direct Instruction and evidence-based instructional design
Precision Teaching and data-based decision-making
Instruction grounded in behavior science research
Occupational Therapy delivered as a prioritized therapy alongside ABA to support sensory-motor development
