Questions Families Ask
Switching, Answered
Can my child switch to an online school in the middle of the school year?
Yes. US Performance Academy (USPA) has rolling admissions, so students in grades 6–12 can switch to our accredited online school mid-year, including in January. Students begin coursework as soon as they’re accepted and their schedule is finalized, instead of waiting for a new semester.
What does rolling admissions mean for a mid-year switch?
Rolling admissions means USPA enrolls students year-round, not on a fixed academic calendar. For a mid-year switch, your family applies, we map your student’s prior credits, you meet your Learning Coach, and coursework starts right away. Each student has 12 months to complete their program.
Will my child’s credits transfer if they switch schools mid-year?
When you apply, USPA reviews your student’s transcripts or unofficial grade reports and aligns prior credits to USPA requirements. We then build a pacing calendar so completed work counts toward graduation. USPA is Cognia-accredited with merit and offers an NCAA-approved curriculum.
How do I enroll my child in an online school mid-year?
Enrolling at USPA takes five steps: talk to Admissions, submit a quick application with ID and transcripts (5–10 minutes), review your custom course schedule, sign the enrollment agreement, and meet your Learning Coach. Your student can then start coursework immediately.
Is USPA an accredited online school?
Yes. USPA is Cognia-accredited with merit, with an Index of Education Quality score of 325 against a Cognia network average of 297. Our curriculum is NCAA-approved, and USPA is part of Inspired Education Group, a global network of more than 125 private schools.
How much does USPA online school cost?
USPA charges one tuition with everything included: a 1:1 Learning Coach, dual enrollment, ACT/SAT prep, college application and scholarship support, Unifrog, and Honors and AP courses. Current pricing is listed on our Truth in Tuition page.
Does USPA support students with ADHD or learning differences?
Yes. USPA’s GOAL Program (Guided Opportunities for Achievement and Learning) offers neurodiversity-affirming, strengths-based support for students with learning differences, ADHD, autism, giftedness and twice-exceptionality. GOAL seats fill quickly, so families switching mid-year should apply early.
Do online school students get clubs, events, and a social life?
Yes. USPA students join clubs, assemblies, service projects, family events and cultural celebrations, plus virtual and in-person experiences and global summer camps through the Inspired network. In our Cognia review, 100% of students said they feel welcomed and respected.
Can international students attend USPA?
Yes. USPA is fully asynchronous, so students study from any time zone and earn an accredited U.S. diploma. Our students come from across the United States and 27 countries.
