About the Excel Center

The Excel Center

The Excel Center® is operated by MERS Goodwill of Missouri.

The Excel Center addresses needs outside the classroom, provides free drop-in child care centers, offers free transportation assistance, and gives students the ability to balance school and work schedules. The Excel Center allows students to learn at their own pace and complete their educational requirements throughout the year.

At the Excel Center, students develop supportive relationships with staff and classmates to encourage progress and academic engagement. The Excel community offers support, helps with the challenges of balancing school and life circumstances, and celebrates achievements and milestones.

Our Vision

Thousands of individuals drop out of high school each year, impacting their career potential as employers seek workers with higher skills and specialization. As part of our commitment to enhance career potential and access to high-growth jobs for high school dropouts, The Excel Center provides effective ways to provide adult high school students accelerated learning, opportunities for post-secondary education, and individualized career planning.

Our Mission

Our mission is the same throughout the MERS Goodwill organization: Changing lives through the power of work.
