At Huron Sports Academy, we believe that a well-rounded student-athlete is essential for success. While we are committed to developing athletic talent, our core focus is on providing an exceptional academic foundation for our students. We understand that academic excellence is the cornerstone for future opportunities, whether it’s pursuing higher education, a professional career, or simply becoming a well-rounded individual.
A Strong Academic Curriculum
Our rigorous academic program is designed to challenge and inspire our students. We have carefully selected curriculum materials that are both engaging and effective:
- Reading/ELA: Amplify is a comprehensive program that uses a blend of fiction and nonfiction texts to teach students how to read, write, and think critically. It also includes a digital component that allows students to practice their skills and receive feedback.
- Math: Ready Math is a research-based program that uses engaging activities and games to help students learn key math concepts. It also includes a focus on problem-solving and real-world applications.
- Science: Science Fusion is an inquiry-based program that uses hands-on activities and experiments to help students learn about the natural world. It also includes a focus on scientific literacy and critical thinking.
These programs are renowned for their ability to foster critical thinking, problem-solving, and a deep love of learning. Our dedicated teachers are committed to creating a supportive and stimulating learning environment where every student can thrive.
We are excited to announce the launch of our comprehensive Blitz(tm) academic program created by Dr. Chad Carr. This innovative program is designed to complement our core curriculum and provide additional support and enrichment opportunities for our students.
It was first implemented at Columbus Preparatory Academy (CPA), a public charter school failing academically by the 2006-07 school year. The Blitz™ took CPA from closure status to the #1 ranked public school in the state of Ohio within three years, a position it held while implementing The Blitz™ from 2010-2017.
The Blitz™ competition occurs each spring during the eight weeks leading up to the Ohio State Test (OST). Students play Blitz™ review games and become familiar with the vocabulary and structure of state assessments. During fun and friendly competition, students participate in a series of academic pep rallies where they:
- Gain confidence in their ability to perform well on the test
- Showcase their creative talents during school-wide games
- Encourage one another to put forth their best effort academically & behaviorally
- Receive rewards for excellence, including a series of field trips based on their end-of-year Blitz™ rankings
A Holistic Approach to Education
We believe that academics and athletics go hand-in-hand. The discipline, teamwork, and perseverance learned on the field translate directly into the classroom. Our student-athletes develop time management skills, the ability to handle pressure, and a strong work ethic, all of which are essential for academic success.
At Huron Sports Academy, we are committed to providing our students with the tools and support they need to excel in both academics and athletics. We believe that by nurturing the whole student, we are preparing them for a lifetime of achievement.
Huron Sports Academy is proud to offer a tuition-free education to students in Kindergarten through Grade 5. We are excited to open our doors this fall and welcome a new generation of student-athletes.
Ready to join us for the upcoming school year?
