Summit Athletic Academy

Summit Athletic Academy (SAA) is a partnership between Summit Academy, an NCAA-approved public charter school, and various premier athletic development programs. We are committed to creating a supportive environment that fosters respect, kindness, and growth, helping student-athletes excel in the classroom, in their sport, and in life.

Our program for grades 6–12 offers rigorous in-person classes taught by certified teachers. Tailored for competitive athletes, SAA provides flexible schedules, personalized guidance, and world-class training opportunities—preparing graduates for success at prestigious universities and beyond.

How We Work

Our Blended Academic Program combines conventional face-to-face education with independent learning:

  • Students attend publicly funded Summit classes on Tuesdays to participate in teacher-directed learning opportunities, such as labs, discussions, and group activities.

  • Students complete additional independent learning activities at the program of their choice or at home. Examples of these include: videos, readings, or occasional online lessons.

  • Students complete class assignments and submit to teachers electronically.

This format allows students to complete required work at a time, place, and pace that accommodates their sports schedule.

When and Where?

  • Tuesdays: In-person classes at Summit Academy in Westminster.

  • Mon/Wed/Thu/Fri: Students complete academic coursework while training with a program or organization of choice.

  • Teacher Support: Educators at the Blue Sport Stable weekly for additional guidance.

What We Offer

At SAA, student-athletes benefit from a unique balance of education and training, including:

  • Flexible Education: NCAA-approved curriculum tailored to fit athletes’ demanding schedules.

  • Elite Training: Students are able to pick where/when/how they train M/W/TH/F

  • Holistic Development: Focus on academics, character, athletic performance, and personal growth.

  • Athletic Freedom: Compete in any sport, for any club, school, or organization.

  • Expert Guidance: Professional guest speakers on sports psychology, nutrition, and education.

  • Passionate Teachers: Experienced mentors dedicated to helping athletes reach their full potential in and out of the classroom.
