WYOMISSING, Pa., May 27, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Berks Technical Institute (BTI) and Excel High
School are excited to announce a new partnership that will help
individuals who didn't graduate from high school go back to class
and earn their diplomas through an accredited online high school.
The program, which is delivered 100% online and free of charge to
students, will be administered through Excel High School with BTI
covering the cost for students and providing access to the school's
facilities, computers and a facilitator to assist students to help
ensure their success.
"Excel High School is a leader in the field and we look forward
to working with them to help more people take advantage of all that
a high school diploma affords – things like accessing better jobs
with larger salaries, attending college and feeling that sense of
accomplishment that comes with realizing a goal," said Dr.
Andrea Snow, Senior Vice
President-Academics & Career Services for the Ancora Education
group of private, post-secondary schools located across the U.S.,
including BTI.
"Excel High School is proud to partner with Ancora Education to
provide adult learners a unique opportunity aimed to help adults
re-engage their education, graduate from high school with an
accredited diploma, and attend college," said Rod Clarkson, Excel's CEO.
Individuals interested in the program must apply and interview
through BTI and agree to attend Excel's online delivered classes on
the BTI campus three days a week for two-to-three hours per day.
BTI does not teach the classes but provides community-facing
support throughout the process. The length of time it takes to
complete the program varies based upon the number of credits each
student has coming into the program.
"Online courses and study applications at Excel High School are
highly accessible and easy to navigate. The grading system is
refreshingly fair, and the staff is made up of genuinely good,
hardworking educators who seek to bring out the best in students. I
recommend Excel High School to everyone," said Jalen, an Excel
graduate. "Traditional high school did not work for me, so I thank
God for Excel and having the opportunity to graduate."
Excel High School offers online high school courses that meet
State standards for high school graduation. Courses are easy to
navigate and help ensure that students' master the course subject
matter. Online Courses at EHS are available anytime - 24/7 and each
student is supported by an advisor and a highly qualified subject
matter expert. Excel High School is a fully functioning, accredited
high school.
"Everyone I worked with at Excel is supportive, responsive, and
even though courses are online, I felt like I was working with real
people that cared about my success," said Luke, an Excel
graduate. "The program wasn't easy, but it was worth it. I cannot
thank Excel High School enough for helping me earn my high school
diploma."
Excel High School issues the final diploma to students who
graduate from the online program. There is no obligation to enroll
at BTI following graduation.
"This is a service we provide for our communities because a high
school diploma improves eligibility for employment and secondary
education opportunities – both of which have a significant
economic impact in the communities we serve," said Dr. Snow.
