Athletic and Educational Balance

If your child is a serious athlete, you probably feel like they have to work really hard to avoid falling behind. Traditional schools just aren’t very flexible. Your child shouldn’t need to choose between pursuing the sport they love or school.

We Can Help:

  • Let’s build a balanced schedule for your child’s studies, practice, travel, and games.
  • We can help your child find the right college to continue developing athletically — and a path to get there.
  • Your child will get individual support where they need it and learn in a community with other students who have similar goals and interests.

Other College Preparation Advantages:

  • Individualized College Counseling Program for all High School Students
  • NCAA Approval Guidance
  • Community Service Opportunities
  • College Workshops & Visits

At FCP, we challenge our students to use their talents and strengths to become the best version of themselves. We have high standards for all of our programs and our academic curriculum is world class.

The traditional school model is not flexible enough for today’s academic environment. In the past, students have had to choose between academics and sports programs. We believe your child shouldn’t have to choose between pursuing their passion and their education.

Traditional School Model FCP Sports Academy Education Model
One-size-fits-all schedule and classes Schedule and classes are based on individual student needs
Hundreds of students in each grade level A tight-knit learning community of goal oriented students.
All students take 45- or 75-minute block classes on the same bell-and-lunch schedule Students study courses as long as they need and switch to other courses when they are ready
Fixed school day hours and school year breaks Parents and students create a daily, weekly, and yearly study schedule that meets their priorities
Lessons are taught generically for the “typical” student on a bell curve average Each student has an individual education plan based on their specific goals and academic interests
Many students compete for a fraction of one teacher’s attention during limited class time Students always have access to teachers who know them personally and clearly understand their learning needs and goals
Athletes and performing arts students are under more pressure or need to work harder to make up time spent practicing or traveling for competition Athletics, performing arts, and all kinds of extracurricular priorities outside of school fit seamlessly into the structure for studying that students and parents choose and agree on with their teachers
Communication between teachers and parents is very limited and often non-existent Parents have personal, frequent, open, and direct communication with our staff
Thousands of students share a very limited number of school and college counselor resources College acceptance and entrance prep for each student
