Mission
THE MISSION OF THE EXCEL CENTER OF NORTHERN INDIANA IS TO PROVIDE ADULTS THE COURSEWORK AND SUPPORT NEEDED TO EARN AN INDIANA HIGH SCHOOL DIPLOMA TO PURSUE CAREER AND COLLEGE PATHWAYS.
-
OUR COURSE PROGRESSION ALLOWS US TO 'MEET STUDENTS WHERE THEY ARE'. ENROLLING STUDENTS PROVIDE A COPY OF THEIR TRANSCRIPT FROM THE LAST HIGH SCHOOL THEY ATTENDED WHICH ALLOWS US TO DETERMINE HOW MANY CREDITS A STUDENT NEEDS TO COMPLETE THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE CORE 40 DIPLOMA. EACH STUDENT ALSO SITS FOR SEVERAL ACADEMIC ASSESSMENTS WHICH ARE USED TO DETERMINE APPROPRIATE COURSE PLACEMENT BASED UPON THE STUDENT'S CURRENT KNOWLEDGE OF THE DISCIPLINE. THE MAJORITY OF OUR COURSES ARE FACE-TO-FACE, IN CLASSROOM INSTRUCTION WITH A LICENSED TEACHER WITH AN AVERAGE CLASS SIZE OF LESS THAN 15. SOME CREDIT RECOVERY COURSES ARE AVAILABLE ONLINE FOR STUDENTS ON AN AS NEEDED BASIS. THE EXCEL CENTER OFFERS A UNIQUE ACCELERATED CURRICULUM ALLOWING STUDENTS TO EARN REQUIRED CREDITS MORE QUICKLY. WITH EIGHT WEEK TERMS OFFERED FIVE TIMES PER YEAR, STUDENTS CAN ADVANCE THROUGH THE PROGRAM AT A STEADY PACE. THE EXCEL CENTER HAS A GOAL TO HELP REMOVE BARRIERS ADULT STUDENTS MAY FACE WHEN IT COMES TO ATTENDING SCHOOL. TWO SIGNIFICANT PROGRAMS ARE PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION ASSISTANCE AND ONSITE CHILDCARE. FOR THOSE STUDENTS WHO QUALIFY FINANCIALLY, WE PROVIDE FREE BUS PASSES FOR THE LOCAL PUBLIC BUS SYSTEM, GAS CARDS, OR RIDES UTILIZING UBER FOR THE LOCAL PUBLIC BUS SYSTEM. THERE IS NO CHARGE FOR RIDERS OF THE EAST CHICAGO BUS LINE BUT THERE IS A FEE FOR GARY PUBLIC TRANSIT. IF BUS SYSTEMS ARE NOT AN OPTION, WE EXPLORE OTHER OPTIONS (LISTED ABOVE) IN ORDER TO ASSIST GETTING STUDENTS TO SCHOOL SO THAT TRANSPORTATION IS NOT A BARRIER FOR ANY STUDENT.OUR DROP IN CENTER, KNOWN AS "KIDS EXCEL" (CHILDCARE PROGRAM), IS FREE TO OUR STUDENTS WHENEVER THEY ARE IN OUR BUILDING. CHILDREN AGES 7 WEEKS TO 7 YEARS OLD ARE ACCEPTED INTO THE CHILDCARE PROGRAM. WE TRY TO TAKE ACCOMMODATIONS FOR SCHOOL AGE CHILDREN WHEN APPROPRIATE. HOWEVER, MOST OF THE TIME, SCHOOL AGE CHILDREN ARE IN THEIR OWN SCHOOLS WHILE OUR CLASSES ARE IN SESSION. THE DIRECTOR OF KIDS EXCEL IS CERTIFIED IN HIGH SCOPE, A PRE-SCHOOL CURRICULUM DEVELOPED FOR CHILDREN IN POVERTY, AND SHE HAS IMPLEMENTED IT INTO OUR PROGRAM. WORKING WITH A LOCAL NON-PROFIT, WE ARE ALSO SENDING OUR SOUTH BEND KIDS EXCEL STAFF TO RECEIVE THEIR OWN CREDENTIALS IN HIGH SCOPE. THIS IS FURTHERING OUR ABILITY TO SERVE OUR STUDENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES AT HIGH QUALITY LEVEL. WE ALSO ASSIST OUR STUDENTS WITH SEEKING CHILDCARE VOUCHER APPLICATIONS AND HELP THEM EVALUATE CHILDCARE OPTIONS FOR POST-GRADUATION NEEDS. CHILDCARE HAS HAD A SIGNIFICANT IMPACT ON ENABLING OUR STUDENTS TO BE IN THE CLASSROOM, AND HAS ALSO IMPACTED THE GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE CHILDREN IN THE PROGRAM.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all.
Grants made
No itemized grants to organizations. Schedule I is filed only by organizations that granted more than $5,000 to a recipient, so most filers have none.

Other IRS files
Auto-Revocation List
Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.
Publication 78
Listed as of 13 October 2026, under deductibility PC.
These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.
