Very happy with our childs growth since enrolling. We love their uniforms! The structured learning environment, caring and nurturing staff has really impressed us. I feel the staff cares about my child's well being. Also, school has undergone new renovations. We feel this school is putting our child on a path to success.

Overall, I feel very prepared for my secondary education. The culture is unique at Excelsior School. The school curriculum and general rigor of instruction does prepare the students for highly selective colleges and universities. I have really enjoyed my time at Marlborough. The classes are small and provide individual attention when needed.

I'm glad that I sent my son to Excelsior School. He is about to graduate this year. With the help of the school and teachers, he was able to receive a number of offers from several UC's and Northeastern University.

I graduated from Excelsior School a few years ago. Excelsior School is a great place for learning and preparing for college. Students are friendly and nice, so are the teachers. Teachers are also very helpful with coursework and college preparation.

I was graduated from Excelsior School last year. Excelsior School prepared me well for my college. I made some great friends and everyone just feels like family. Teachers here are amazing as well. All the teachers are helpful when a student is having problems with grades or with life.

This school has many extra-curricular activities, including sports, choir, art, newspaper, drama, key club, etc. The intervention programs in the morning before school and also after school greatly help all students achieve as highly as possible.

It is a profit driven enterprise - while the teachers want students to learn, the office is simply interested in making money.

I really regret attending this school. It was probably the greatest mistake I've ever made or the the unwisely spent time in my life.This international-more like Chinese-school does not help your children to improve in hardly any way. It is located underneath the college building and shares the campus with three-or possibly more-schools. Faculties/teachers are always changing. Their way of disciplining students is sometimes bizarre. They sometimes do favorites, and tuition is ridiculously expensive for what you are actually getting. I recommend you to look for other schools if you can. Most of ridiculously positive reviews about this school is fake, by the way. They are written by the school office's people.

This school is the place to send your students if you are seeking a place to nurture and develop their study habits, which will lead them to be successful in the future.

Very well structured and organized school. I have found that everyone is willing to help students that fall behind.

Excelsior has small class sizes which give every student a chance to ask questions and get the help they need to succeed. They will help you get into the university that you desire with a personalized plan.

It is one of the best schools in the United States, formally accredited by the Western Association of Schools & Colleges.!

As a former student of Excelsior school, I have to say that the teachers and administration are completely dedicated to improving each students' academic life. A great majority of students that attend Excelsior get into the nation's top 50 universities. I would highly recommend this school to anyone looking for an environment where everyone cares deeply about each student.

This school has an excellent environment. The principal and teachers care about each student. Especially those who need help, they give extra attention to those.

The directors helped my son a lot because he really needed it. He was considered special ed. They patiently taught him and cared for him which led to his great improvement. I am truly thankful for them.

I personally regretted greatly for attending this school. Before making further decisions whether to send your child to this school or not, make sure you look through the information of this school. The teachers are very unstable, and the level of education is way below average American education. I can see that the school is meant for ESL students, and they take advantage of students with visas by threatening them of ending their visas so that they can't even stay in America. Also, the principal is hired by the school owner so that the school can look like an "all-white" community where there is a true American teaching going on. The principal is nothing but a face of the school, in my opinion. All in all, the school is phony. The teachers are not that reliable, and the directors are taking advantage of students. NOT A SCHOOL!

i was a former student there on student visa i have to say it is the worst school i've ever attended. they treat their students in a unjust manner and make the most minor policy violation worthy of suspension. the teachers are not full time they kept changing and making the understanding of school subject hard. i would not go to this school if i knew it would be like this. i was surprised to even see positive review for this school at all. i know they're are student who want to criticizes this outrageous school but afraid for retaliation from the school. so to those who find this review helpful please look into a school before you attend.
