Education from an Islamic Lens

At Excellence Academy, we foster an environment where students can cultivate critical thinking skills and a thirst for truth, enabling them to establish a profound connection with their faith while navigating the challenges of the modern world.

Our secondary education program currently serves students in grades 7-10, in-person and online. Our school is still growing and inshallah will ultimately serve up to 12th grade.

Middle School (Grades 7-8)

In lower secondary school (middle school), students are transitioned from a Montessori immersive learning experience to the  Cambridge curriculum which encourages in-depth exploration of core subjects. Lower secondary is typically for students 11-14 years old.

Required Core: Math, science, English,  Meccacentric history, Islamic studies, Quran, Arabic, service learning.

Electives: art, speech, home economics, programming, typing, and more.

High School (Grades 9-10)

Excellence Academy’s upper secondary school (first two years of high school) is typically for learners ages 14-16 years old where they build upon foundations lain in middle school. At this level, students have developed more advanced higher order thinking skills, a solid foundation in key Islamic concepts and they’re ready to apply their knowledge to a variety of challenges.

Students in their final years of high school are guided through enrolling in Collin College where they take a bulk of their core classes to fulfill graduation requirements. Dual credit allows students to earn both high school and college credit for one college course.
