Frequently Asked Questions
What are the class sizes?
Class sizes range from 3 to 12 students.
In Year 12 class sizes are dependent on texts.
What times are the classes ?
We are only a small business and thus have limited times which can change throughout the year. The current times are:
Year 12 classes: Saturday 4pm and a weekday class
Year 11: Tuesday 5pm
Year 9/10 : Monday 5pm
​
​
Why do the year 12 students need to change class times throughout the year ?
​
At year 12 we try to keep one weekly lesson consistent. However, other classes will change as they are dependent upon texts and Framework areas.
​
How many classes do students do a week ?
Years 7-11 take just one 60 minute class a week.
Year 12 students take a weekly session and then throughout the year there are other extra classes that cater for their specific texts and Framework areas.
Although Year 12 students have extra classes at different times, the fee structure remains the same. This is our way to assist year 12 students in their most important school year.
How experienced are Excelsior's teachers ?
We pride ourselves on excellent teaching. All of our teachers are very experienced and have Masters degrees or a PhD, but are also current examiners, educators and academics who keep up to date with current curriculum changes and learning practices and who genuinely care about our students.
Excelsior students are in good hands.
I'm good at English. Will Excelsior still help me?
Absolutely. In fact one of our differences is that we can push good students to the very top. We consistently have students gain perfect scores in English and we strive to encourage every student to achieve their very best.
