Goodwill strongly believes it is essential to raise education attainment levels in Indiana.

Goodwill provides opportunities for adults (The Excel Center) and youth (Indianapolis Metropolitan High School).


The Excel Center Model

The Excel Center® is operated by Goodwill Education Initiatives, Inc., a not-for-profit organization formed by Goodwill of Central & Southern Indiana.

Recognizing that nearly a half million working-age Hoosiers lack a high school diploma, Goodwill opened The Excel Center for adults in 2010. The Excel Center is a tuition-free public high school for adults offering an Indiana Core 40 high school diploma.
