Academics built for the student-athlete

 Home / Program / Academics

The GRIND Academy is a hybrid academic and athletic academy for elite student-athletes in grades 6 to 12.

Our academics pair rigorous core courses with Honors and AP options, targeted tutoring, and four-year college counseling, all scheduled to work with daily training and recovery.

Small classes, student-driven instruction, and project-based learning build strong writers, problem solvers, and leaders.

Advisors align coursework with NCAA eligibility, test prep, and recruiting timelines, and our integrated schedule ensures travel and competition do not derail momentum. From English, math, science, history and social studies to electives in AI, business, media, technology, health, marketing, leadership and human performance, students explore interests that translate to the next level.

Families choose GRIND for a proven blend of academics and athletics, a supportive culture, and outcomes measured by GPA growth, scholarships, and successful college placement.
