About

Excelsior Academy is a private school for students with learning disabilities serving grades K-12 located in Houston, Texas. Excelsior Academy began as a non-accredited private homeschool center in 2012 serving students in a 1:1 setting in Sugar Land. We have helped students from elementary to high school successfully transition into college and secondary school. Our full time elementary school began in August 2014. Excelsior Academy Private School provides individualized instruction, educational therapy, and small classroom sizes to students with learning disabilities. These disabilities include ADD/ADHD (trouble focusing, hyperactivity), Dysgraphia, Dyscalculia, and other difficulties with regards to reading, writing and arithmetic. Excelsior Academy Private School provides an alternative learning solution for students who face academic barriers by showing learners how to learn and through practical application. Our staff is able to achieve this by utilizing Educational Therapy methods that have helped improve visual and auditory processing and cognitive functioning skills.

Our private school caters to all types of students while also tailoring our curriculum and instruction to fit the unique needs of your child. Our specialized staff utilize phonological processing activities that help students with learning disabilities overcome difficulty with reading, writing, grammar, and spelling. Additionally, Excelsior Academy’s research based auditory memory exercises can build reading comprehension skills and our brain training exercises have helped improve cognitive thinking skills.  Excelsior Academy can address poor handwriting and teaches cursive writing to improve brain development. Research shows that cursive writing helps to overcome motor challenges and activates parts of the brain linked to language fluency. Students at Excelsior Academy Private School develop tools on how to learn and study more efficiently to improve their academic, social and vocational skills. Our teachers ensure that students are generalizing their learning through application and are learning how to learn through our individualized instruction.

Our Houston Private School provides customized instruction with class sizes no larger than 8 students. This type of instruction allows each student to receive more attention from their instructors, unlike current methods of education provided by public, charter and/or private schools. At Excelsior Academy Private School, students with learning disabilities learn how to learn and generalize their learning through application. These concepts are essential learning skills for students with learning disabilities and are needed to master each grade level.

Most people are familiar with the concept of alcoholism and drug addiction, and the idea that certain foods and quantities of foods can be addictive is gaining acceptance.

Food addicts are powerless over where, when, and how much they eat, although many have tremendous willpower in other areas of their lives. Food addiction tends to remain unrecognized because of the focus on the symptoms rather than their underlying cause – addiction.

Symptoms of food addiction include

Overeating (bingeing or grazing)

Purging (bulimia)

Undereating

Obesity (and related problems such as diabetes, heart disease, and sleep apnea)

Compulsive exercise and dieting

Obsession with food or weight

Depression, shame, isolation, and hopelessness related to food, weight, or body image.

FA is a program for those who want to stop eating addictively. Like Alcoholics Anonymous, FA treats food addiction as a threefold illness: physical, mental, and spiritual.
