About Us

The EXCEL Department in the School of Extended and International Education has been conducting summer classes for kids, annually, for over 25 years. The EXCEL for Youth summer classes were traditionally held on the Sonoma State campus. However, since 2021, the classes have been conducted at different schools in Sonoma County that have agreed to participate in the program.

This year, the summer classes will be held at two different schools: Santa Rosa City Schools (Santa Rosa), and Twin Hills Union School District (Sebastopol). Classes will be conducted in three different sessions at the respective schools, and will run from June 24 to July 26. For more information on the 2024 summer courses and how to register, please visit the EXCEL website.
