The Academic Difference
School Goes Where You Go
How We Do It:
We are the online school for elite athletes. USPA enables the student athlete to train and go to school at their own pace. Our Learning Coaches are the hub of the student’s support team and serve as an advisor, advocate and mentor for the student-athlete and family. By going to USPA, your family gets full academic flexibility and is not held down to traditional school schedules.

College Counseling at USPA
The college admissions process is an excellent opportunity for self-realization and personal growth for our students.
USPA’s philosophy on college counseling is that it is part of an enriching and engaging
high school experience in support of whole person development, life skills and the
college process.
The support of my learning coach meant the world to me. Without his guidance and encouragement through the tough times, I certainly wouldn’t be the person I am today. The entire experience at USPA had an immense impact on me and prepared me to be my best self at the US Coast Guard Academy.”
USPA was crucial for me in my journey to being signed to a professional soccer team. My teachers and learning coach enabled my studies to be very flexible, yet still rigorous. I am grateful for all the support!”
USPA has been a game–changer for our family! Our daughter was in a fantastic private school prior to joining USPA in 6th grade, but she is a competitive figure skater, and it was becoming harder and harder for the school to accommodate her training schedule. We decided to make the jump to online school, and the transition has been very smooth.”
