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

Learning Coaches: Support beyond the classroom
Academic Guidance, Made Personal
Learning Coaches are a central part of the USPA experience, offering families peace of mind and students consistent support for their particular needs. Through regular check‑ins and mentorship, Learning Coaches help students manage their time, advocate for themselves, and stay aligned with their academic goals as schedules and demands change.
