What Students and Parents Are Saying About USPA

Rated 4.8 / 5 stars on Niche.com

"When I made the switch to USPA it was such a game changer. I’m very grateful for it. I could do my homework in airports, on the road, and in the car. It didn’t matter where I was because school came with me."

Rivers Hedrick, USPA Graduate

"USPA has given us the ability to truly put family first while also achieving great academics, and we couldn't be happier."

Tony & Michelle Primo, Parents

"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.”

Mother of Eva Beninson, USPA Graduate

"USPA has made it easier for me to concentrate on the sport I love most. In the past it's been challenging for me to go to school and travel. Having USPA has opened doors and allowed me to travel and compete all over the world at the highest level. USPA is allowing me to excel in school and focus on one day becoming a member of the USA Skateboarding team.”

Quinn Harbin, USPA Graduate
