Excel Education Systems (EES) is proud to partner with Cognia in building a future-focused educational model. What began with the accreditation of our first high school has grown into a system-wide commitment to excellence, innovation, and continuous improvement. Thanks to Cognia’s support, EES is now the first fully accredited STEM-certified system and Competency-Based Education (CBE) certified school in Minnesota. These achievements reflect our drive to deliver dynamic, student-centered learning experiences that go beyond traditional models. Through STEM and CBE integration, our students engage with real-world challenges, develop critical thinking skills, and take ownership of their learning journey. Cognia’s framework has been instrumental in helping us reimagine education—not just as instruction, but as opportunity. Together, we’re preparing students for graduation and a rapidly evolving world where innovation is the key to success.
