NCAA-Approved Academics
Academy 48 is the only sports academy that is teacher-led, meaning we own our curriculum versus outsourcing the education process. Our hybrid learning environment helps ensure every student receives the highest educational experience, not just through a laptop and a Zoom meeting.
In the 2026/2027 school year, we will continue to work through our WSAC accreditation. This will ensure that our education model and curriculum meet state and national standards.
