The Goodwill Excel Center is a unique, tuition-free adult high school that awards industry recognized certifications and high school diplomas to adult learners in the Baltimore area. We support the whole student and respond to the fact that life commitments and circumstances can often stop people from continuing their high school education.
With the help of Teachers, Life Coaches, College and Career Counselors, high quality instructors, and flexible scheduling, students can take advantage of a flexible, rigorous, and relevant program.
Understanding that many students may come into the program with varying skills having been out of the classroom for some time, our courses are designed to meet students where they are regardless of level. Students will progress and earn credits in eight-week terms held year-round.

Excel Center History
In an effort to boost education attainment levels in Indiana, in 2010 Goodwill Industries of Central Indiana created The Excel Center. Excel Centers are diploma-granting public charter high schools designed to fit the life circumstances of adults. The model has expanded and is now being implemented by Goodwills across the country. The Excel Center in Baltimore opened in September of 2023.
