Excelsior School began its existence on January 19, 1931 at 8 Hampton Street in Campbell Town, with five (5) students and its Founder, Mr. Aston Wesley Powell. In 1934, because of increasing numbers, the school was housed in what used to be the Earl’s Court Hotel at 18 North Street. In 1949 the school moved to its present location on part of the Antrim property at 137 Mountain View Avenue. This was to become Excelsior’s permanent home.
Between 1971 and 1977 the dream of making Excelsior into a learning institution, to provide education and training opportunities for persons from three years to adulthood, became a reality. Today, the Excelsior Education Centre (EXED) is made up of a pre-primary school, a primary school, a high school and a community college with day and evening divisions.
