At ExcelinEd, we focus on education equity and quality—both inside and outside of the traditional public education system. Through customized support for state policymakers, reformers, educators, parents and communities, we are cultivating policy conditions to advance student-centered education systems, state by state.

Launched by former Florida Governor Jeb Bush in 2008, the Foundation for Excellence in Education (ExcelinEd) supports state leaders in transforming education to unlock opportunity and lifelong success for each and every child.

From policy development to implementation, ExcelinEd brings deep expertise and experience to customize education solutions for each state’s unique needs. Focused on educational opportunity, innovation and quality, ExcelinEd’s agenda is increasing student learning, advancing equity and readying graduates for college and career.
