Excelsior

In many ways Excelsior was so similar to Winston that I can hardly tell the differences.

They have PE every day. Most of the year the PE is centered around whatever intramural program they are doing. In the fall it's flag football, then basketball.

There is an IPAD for every kid to use in the classrooms.

The kids can take breaks when they need to. They can go to the OT room or take a few minutes listening to music, etc.

They have academic classes and

They seem to be pretty flexible with individualized academic instruction.

7-8 grade is together.

Seems a little more relaxed in structure compared to Winston.

They have the option in high school to do a transition program if kids need more time to graduate or need to take a few classes to teach skills which aren't academic.
