Schools

Based in New York City, Excellence Community Schools (ECS) evolved from the success of our flagship school, Bronx Charter School for Excellence (K-8). ECS is the charter management organization of the Bronx Excellence network of schools, the ECS affiliate school, Stamford Excellence, Boys Prep, and Girls Prep I & II. Our programs are based on a proven, nationally recognized model. Our Model is the basis for Bronx Excellence's National Blue Ribbon from the U.S. Department of Education in the category of Exemplary High-Performing Schools.

All Bronx and Stamford Excellence principals have traditional teaching backgrounds in urban settings and have had extensive school residency. They have worked their way through the ranks of various educational roles starting with teacher, followed by academic coach, instructional specialist, principal in residence, and eventually school leader. The role of principal is often cultivated internally, as many of our school leaders have been pulled directly from our teaching staff, while the rest are pulled from other public and charter schools.
