Lifestyle Flex Schedules

The Academy of Excellence is aware the needs of every student are different and that every student has varying responsibilities and commitments outside of school. For this reason, we offer three different study schedules for students to choose from. All three schedules result in the same 1500 hour Academy of Excellence Diploma… and all three schedules wherever possible allow for your life, your needs, and your family’s needs. We hope these three schedule choices will help create a phenomenal and successful school experience here at the Academy of Excellence
