Yes, that is really the name. The Home School Building. They have a bookstore in the building that sells a lot of current home schooling curriculum, along with Klutz books & kits. They carry Alpha Omega as well as other big names in the homeschooling realm. Certain tutorial services such as Grace (and a while ago there was Teenworks) are able to use the building. High school graduates can graduate at the Home School Building with a ceremony, gown & all.

Concerned about where your little guys can get their education? Look no further than Excel Charter Academy.
Excel is the flagship of the National Heritage Academy system. Dr. Knoester, the principal, is a wonderful man who deeply cares about the concerns of parents and the temperaments of the children.
Parents are encouraged to help out in many different ways ~ from recess helpers to lunch companions to choir assistants.
Moral focus is an important aspect at the school. Each month highlights a new character trait the children such as wisdom, perseverance, gratitude, etc.
The teachers make a commitment to each child's individual learning ability and potential.
Excel is more than their name; it's what is taught in the classrooms. The teachers encourage the children to excel in their learning far beyond what you would find in the traditional public school setting.

OK I have to update this immediately. I have pulled my son out of this school as of a week and a half before Christmas Break. I found out that he was getting punched everyday at school since the fourth grade and never told me and no one apparently ever saw this happen. When I confronted them they said it was a game the children were playing and the assistant principal told me to keep my child home if I was concerned about his safety at school. So I have since started sending him to Kenowa Hills, my alma mater. His attitude has improved 110%, he is happier, you can ask anyone that knows him. He is more helpful and more patient. We are slowly reversing all the damage done to him while in the other school, but everyday he is understanding more what things will and will not be tolerated in school. At SWCC the kids ran the room NOT the teacher. If you'd like more information on what went on there please let me know I'd be happy to share so you can also remove your children out of these horrible environment. My child will never go back to that school even if I do have to drive him across town everyday until he graduates!! Thank you for reading this.
My son who is 10 has been attending SWCC since first grade and by the time he is in 6th he will be fluent in English and Spanish. This school is great, not only do they learn the basic curriculum of the "regular" schools but also learn to speak Spanish. This school was designed around a Charter School theory with there being so many of each culture. This is a great opportunity for any child and will be very beneficial in the future!! -
