Schools and Academies

ResCare partners with a variety of public and private entities to provide education to our youth. We offer academic choices for youth through individualized learning environments. These facilities include private and charter schools.

Excel Alternative Schools

Since 1994, Excel has worked to support students and parents with innovative alternatives to traditional education programs by working in close partnership with local school districts. The program offers alternative middle and high school management services focusing on youth who are disruptive or disinterested. We pride ourselves on our ability to motivate students and their parents.
Excel schools have achieved an unsurpassed average daily attendance record of more than 85% and 93% of students are successful upon return to their home schools.

Texas Hill Country School

The Texas Hill Country School specializes in working with students with mood disorders, psychotic disorders, acquired brain injury, autism, and a host of other developmental, neurological and psychological problems. As a learning community, we share a conviction that given the right academic environment, every student can reach his or her maximum potential. Many of our students struggled in a traditional school setting and became disenchanted, not only with learning, but also with other aspects of life. We have demonstrated that when these students are recognized as individuals and nurtured, they can develop a clearer sense of self.

Charter and Private School Management

ResCare operates specialized K-12 schools designed to meet the unique learning challenges of all students. Developed with the input of parents, our schools provide a rigorous educational option in a family-centered school community. For more than a decade, ResCare schools have offered parents and families options for success. We pride ourselves on the quality of our educators, the strength of our models and, most importantly, the success of the children we teach.
