What people are saying about The Academy
It definitely took a long time to find the right school for our daughter. As a diplomat travelling around the world, moving countries every two years, I could see the impact the dislocation was having on her. Finding Dartford Excelsior was a godsend. The stability, the genuine care and connection impressed me.
Eloise P, parent
A great school. The online school the football academy uses is just not up to scratch, Joe is a gifted footballer but he is also very smart and we didn’t want him to lose out – [Dartford Excelsior] is definitely no walk in the park for the kids in terms of work.
Anthony S, parent
Very impressed…I actually forget its online because my tutors are so involved in what I am doing. It’s strange because when I was in actual school, I could avoid them but I feel like my tutors now are so involved in my education and I actually want then there.
Stuart P, student
Needed to have home schooling because of a play and then a film I was doing. Before, my school used to give me work but because I was going to be out for most of the year, they said it would be better to sign up to an online school and recommended Dartford Excelsior. It’s been a great year and my parents are saying I will stick with it as the education is basically like a private school not a comprehensive which is what I would have to go back to.
Onagi A, student
Recommending a child for home schooling is never an easy thing but after meeting the Dartford Excelsior team we felt comfortable that they would be a great addition to our pupil management efforts. Their support has allowed us to provide sustainable alternative education to students finding it difficult to engage with education.
Elizabeth H, Head Teacher
Great tutors and great resources. My son says everything is very organised and he is learning a lot so enrolment for next year is a given!
