A play-based programme with:

Solid Foundation

Our talented teachers will guide your child through a broad range of subject areas, setting individualized goals and carefully tracking their progress.

The depth of study in each area ensures that your child will build a solid foundation for the rigor of the IGCSE and IB programs offered in High School

Creative Activities

Students will take part in a range of fun, messy and creative play activities both inside and outside the classroom. As such, students need to bring a set of spare clothes, including underwear to school which must be kept in their school bag

Starting school is a special time for children and parents alike. At Excelsior Academic College, we aim to make the transition as smooth as possible. Learners and staff look forward to welcoming new children into our special school community.   Our staff strives to provide an inspiring, stimulating and exciting environment where everyone feels valued, safe and well cared for. 

We want children to have fun and enjoy success in all aspects of their education. We encourage parents to play an active part in the children’s education. Excelsior Academic College is a happy, friendly school with dedicated staff team of educators and non-educators.
