About us
US Performance Academy is a fully accredited, independent online middle and high school for students in grades 6-12.
We understand your drive. The long practice hours, tournament travel schedules, and high-level competition don’t fit into traditional schools. USPA is an online school built by athletes and educators to support your ambition as a student-athlete without compromising your education.
- Flexibility without compromise: Our fully asynchronous program adapts to your training, travel, competition, and life calendar.
- Dedicated 1:1 student support: Receive a dedicated learning coach to keep you organized and encouraged all year.
- College-ready by design: We offer AP and honors courses, dual enrollment with ASU, integrated college counseling, and more.
- Human connection: Our dedicated staff and teachers are readily available to support students and know them all by name.
“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!”
-Malcolm Fry, USPA Class of 2023
