XCEL is a donation-only program. While Xaverian takes tremendous care to ensure that the cost is covered for all our campers, we do look to our families to help aid in covering this program. In response to the spirit of the Xaverian Brothers' ministry of education, XCEL does not charge tuition. Once accepted to the program, donations of $300 are recommended but not required. We ask families to give what is within their means.

The Xaverian Community of Emerging Leaders (XCEL)

In the Xaverian tradition, we seek students who possess zeal in the classroom and humility in their leadership. The program will run from late June to late July (exact dates TBD), Monday through Thursday, 8:30 am - 2:00 pm. There is no XCEL on Fridays.

The daily morning schedule includes TACHS prep classes, as well as elective course options in robotics, film production, forensics, micro bit and drone programming, journalism, and the history of Bay Ridge, followed by a variety of recreational activities in the afternoon. Our location across the street from Shore Road Park allows for outdoor extracurricular activities as well. XCEL integrates its classroom curriculum with hands-on learning experiences. 

While academic enrichment is a major component of the program, equally important is a focus on the students’ spiritual and leadership development. Along with leadership seminars and team-building programs, students also participate in a service project to have a direct impact on their community.
