What Our Student-Athletes Say

“My teachers are great, and it feels like in-person school even though it’s online. We talk about NCAA eligibility and preparing for college in my seminar course, too, which I really value.”

- Henry Guan, Class of '26

"I love how learning online lets me balance school with training and competitions. My personal program lets me explore my outside interests, too. I also love my supportive community of teachers and friends."

- Vince Arciaga, Class of '29

"Because I travel so much for tournaments, I love how I can work at my own pace. I can take my time to better understand something if I need to, or work ahead. I wasn’t able to do that when I was in traditional school."

- Francesca Saroli, Class of '25
