A structured, supervised workspace for high school athletes completing their online, NCAA-approved coursework. Students stay on track academically while training daily at Swysh Den with skill work, shooting sessions, performance training, and leadership development built into their schedule. The perfect blend of academic flexibility and elite athletic growth.
Swysh Den Academy virtual students participate in college-style weekly scheduling. Instead of traditional daily blocked scheduling, live seminars take place once per week. We believe that preparing students for a college-like schedule prepares them to thrive in a university environment while still in secondary school.
Learning with Swysh Den Academy is inspiring, flexible, and engaging while meeting college and career readiness standards. Our curriculum empowers students to think critically and apply their knowledge in authentic ways through Impact Learning.
Inspired by a college learning approach, our learning model combines asynchronous work time and synchronous seminars. The information below outlines how we implement the college-learning model within our curriculum.
At the end of each unit, students will take an assessment to demonstrate their understanding. This could be a standardized assessment or a final product.
