[5] Excel Christian School opened in August 2003 in leased classroom space on Baring Boulevard, large enough to serve between 50–80 students in grades K–12.

It was located next to a YMCA which the school panned to use "for sports, recreation, PE programs and breaks".

[7] The elementary school program moved in 2008 to the Hope Chapel campus of University Family Fellowship, a larger location with 6,000 square feet of space, to allow expanding enrollment from 40 students in the elementary program up to 140 students.

[8][9][10] In March 2015, the school began fundraising for a down payment to buy the former YMCA property at Baring Boulevard and Rockwood Drive.

[11] Excel is a member of the NIAA (Nevada Interscholastic Activities Association) and competes in the Single A (1A) division.
