Finding the excitement – in college and in life

Founded in 2003 in the resort town of Bend, Oregon, College Excel is a support program for young adults 18-27 years of age who are ready to begin or continue in college. We provide private college-accredited courses, skill development classes, tutoring, life skills education, and life coaching to ensure our students' success in college.

While attending CE, our students reside in our sponsored housing or apartments of their own, and attend one of our local colleges – Oregon State University Cascades or Central Oregon Community College  – under the close supervision of our dedicated, professional staff.

Our team of life coaches, learning specialists, advisors, tutors and professors share decades of experience in transforming the lives of young adults. Our facilities foster a highly personalized, one-on-one experience that provides a refuge for students as they learn key academic and life skills. In this environment, students can identify their true passions – the keystone of a purposeful and successful life.

The result? Students gain the tools to thrive in college and beyond.
