With the begining of the 2007 school year 6-12th grade students in Minnesota and throughout the US gained a new choice in how they can complete their academic school year studies. Excel High School is now offering online fully accredited American High School curriculum, including many AP courses and GED completion studies. For adults and students in grades 9-12 Excel has made it possible to obtain a high school diploma completely from home or work. Excel High School Academic Advisors and support staff stay in close touch throughout enrollment and the school even has a no-interest tuition payment plan.
Remote-Learner created a custom student management system (Virtual School SMS) interface for the Excel Moodle installation that includes an adminstrator and teacher portal with greater reporting functions, and a parent portal that allows a parent or guardian to view what their children (only) are doing within the Moodle courses they are enrolled in. The SMS function has helped Excel and other schools meet the rigorous standards of accrediting organizations with transcripts and other reporting features required. Remote-Learner plans to release a version of the Virtual School SMS for higher education and corporate universities in Q1/'07.
