WHO WE ARE
Project Excel Academy (PXL Academy) is an organization that offers homeschool oversight, tutoring, study sessions, strengths, character focus and academic strategies to students of various academic levels. We utilize unique, fun, hands-on educational environments to equip students who would benefit from small class sizes, study sessions and individualized academic plans.
OUR MISSION
Our mission is to assist parents by providing environments for academic mastery, strengths exploration and most importantly, to build Godly character.
We actively partner with parents to honor the individuality of each student. All these services are developed in an environment that prepares students for college and career choices that fit who they are becoming.
SERVANT LEADERSHIP MODEL
We use a servant leadership model to serve our students. This means that leadership in our organization focuses on equipping students, meeting individual student needs and making families feel honored and heard by rapid responses to academic challenges.
MENTORSHIP IS A PART OF OUR CULTURE
Mentorship is an organic and integral part of our program by team building & strengths activities. Our staff develops relationships with parents & students that allows the student to grow academically. In this environment students are able to experience a safe place of support and encouragement.
OUR CORE VALUES
Our core values are an important component for how we maintain an environment that encourages service. Our values apply to students, parents and staff.
Value - We acknowledge that everyone has great potential and worth and should be treated in a manner that helps them move toward their highest purpose.
Integrity - We serve with honesty, truth and character and we expect and encourage this quality in others.
Aspire – We realize that there is always room for improvement. We continually challenge ourselves and our students to grow. Excellence is the standard we reach for in all that we do.
Our students are served in small groups from 2nd grade and up.
Our foundation verse is “...I have come that they might have life and that more abundantly.” John 10:10
Different Students
Require Different
Approaches to Learning
All students learn in different ways. Some are visual or auditory learners, others learn well by doing. We take the approach that all subjects should be learned using as many different approaches as possible. At PXL we appreciate the uniqueness of each individual student and strive to assist them in finding the beauty and value they each possess within. An important part of our program is to assist students to take personal responsibility for their own learning journey and ultimately their future.
Unfortunately, we are not equipped to handle students who have behavior challenges. No tuition refunds will be authorized if your child's behavior causes him/her to be suspended or expelled from our program; so please be sure to research our program thoroughly and make sure it is the right fit for your child. If this occurs you will still be responsible for paying the tuition.

In The News
What Is Homeschooling?
In the state of Maryland homeschooling is an opportunity for parents to take greater responsibility for their child's education. Parents are to ensure that students are receiving regular, consistent instruction. This does not mean that they have to teach every subject, but that they are responsible for making sure it is accomplished.
Project Excel Academy is the liaison between parents and the Maryland State Board of Education. Be sure to fill out your Notification form because you are not officially registered as a homeschool family in Prince George's County MD until this is completed. Enroll in our oversight program before you complete this form because you will be asked for the name of the program in which you have enrolled as a part of the registration process. Link is below:

Project Excel provides each student with 3 reviews through out the school year to ensure that students are receiving regular, consistent, quality instruction at the correct level for their grade and that they are on course to be promoted to the next grade.
Benefits of Homeschooling
Homeschooling is not for every student, but it is an amazing opportunity for those who would benefit from an individualized, small, hands on learning environment.
We have witnessed major transformation in a very short period for students who where challenged academically as they were able to focus on their strengths and fill in the academic gaps they didn't realize were there.
Some students who were not interested in college began to pursue college options as their academic confidence increased because of individualized assistance and encouragement.
Students who were entrepreneurs were able to soar once they realized their true potential and gifts and students who were already strong academically were able to acquire the freedom to continue to flourish and grow.
All of these accomplishments occurred with the partnership of parents, students and our program.
We have witnessed again and again lives being changed and students beginning the journey to finding purpose.
We are approved by the Maryland State Board of Education
