Special Education

Excel Academy Charter School provides a range of services to support individual needs of students.

Excel Academy provides all students with disabilities the required services as outlined in their Individual Education Plans (IEPs). Parents, teachers, support staff and district support staff work as part of a team in the process of determining eligibility for special education services and the provision of special education services. Placement is based on student need and collaboration between the IEP team and the district.

Excel Academy’s Special Service Provider (SSP) team includes Special Education Learning Specialists, a School Social Worker/School Psychologist, a Speech-Language Pathologist, and an Occupational Therapist. These highly trained specialists collaborate with classroom teachers to provide services within the general education classroom and in small groups or 1:1 according to the student's needs as addressed within the Individual Education Plan (IEP).

Special Education in Jeffco shapes a future where every student can succeed, learn and grow. In the heart of our community, the Special Education department is a cornerstone, ensuring that students with disabilities are supported on their journey to reach their full potential.
