Advantage Academics
Advantage Tennis Academy places a heavy emphasis on the academic development of our players. Having our student athletes college ready is the goal for all our students even if they hope to directly play on the pro tour.

We do not have a one size fits all approach to academics. We have a variety of academic options available to ensure our student athletes achieve the best education to fit their demanding training and tournament schedules and to ensure they are well prepared for the rigors of top universities. We will evaluate where your student is currently at, what his/her academic goals are and residency status and recommend a school and academic program to best meet those goals.
Below are some of the most common options available for our full time student athletes:
- Onsite Blended Learning (Public Charter School)
- Offsite Local Public Schools (traditional brick and mortar)
- Offsite Local Private Schools (traditional brick and mortar, ESL Programs)
You can also choose to use your existing online school and still take advantage of our professionally staffed blended learning classroom. Speak with our Academic Director about your student today to find out which one meets your goals as a college bound student athlete.
