The main benefit about your student-athlete attending A4 Academy is that you get to be 100% in charge of their curriculum.

How does your student-athlete learn best?

  • This curriculum method is a dash of Eclectic + Waldorf + Montessori homeschooling styles.

    Eclectic in a sense that not everything works for everyone and each education plan is custom fit and individualized for each student. Waldorf because we are really focusing on a completely holistic and inclusive learning environment where intellectual, emotional, and physical development should be harmoniously balanced. And a little bit of Montessori style - where the learning is child led and the children can explore and learn at their own pace guided by their natural interests.

    We have done- for-you curriculum guides that we will recommend, but based on the student-athlete’s personal interests we can add or edit these as needed.
    IE - adding music, history or more intensive biblical studies. 

    Workbook packages typically range from $250-500 for the year.

  • Recommended for 2nd-8th grade:

    Power HomeSchool: $31.25/month work at your own pace through a non-accredited fully online program.

    (The above option has a scholarship available to make it $25/month.)

    Monarch Christian Academy: $43.95/month work at your own pace through a non-accredited fully online Christian program.

    Recommended for 9th-12th grade:

    Acellus Academy: $249/month - work at your own pace through an accredited fully online program that credits count towards a high school diploma and ensure your student-athlete is NCAA eligible.

    (The above option has a scholarship available to make it $79/month.)

    There are several locally accredited virtual options through Education Imagine Academy (USD259), Andover E-academy and Maize Virtual Preparatory School. While these are great local options, they also have more requirements and less flexibility/on the go capabilities - so be aware that additional time outside of the dedicated morning academic hours at A4A might be needed.

    Fees vary from $75-$250 for these programs.

All of these options are child-led learning.

This is an educational approach that empowers children to take an active role in their learning journey by following their interests, curiosity, and pace. Instead of a rigid, teacher-directed curriculum, this method allows children to explore topics that excite them, fostering a love for learning and deeper engagement.

We will have a ‘guide’ available to help asks questions to questions and provide resources and support, but they won’t be involved in direct instruction.
