Welcome to the LA Galaxy Academy, enabling elite student-athletes to excel both on the field and in the classroom. We are a learning environment that mirrors the expectations of excellence in discipline, character, and respect seen in the Galaxy organization.
Who We Are |
We are committed to creating NCAA eligible student-athletes and future professionals, both in character and in academic preparation. To do so, we have created a learning environment that combines an online high school curriculum with a traditional classroom setting. For the online high school curriculum, we partnered with WASC-accredited, public, online school - California Connections Academy (Cal-CA), specifically the Capistrano Connections Academy (Capo-CA). California Connections Academy provides the online instruction and curriculum. They offer a strong college preparatory program, including required A-G courses for entry into UC/CSU schools, Honors, and Advanced Placement courses.
Every afternoon, Academy student-athletes report to a classroom setting where they work on their online school curriculum and receive additional support. The Academy Education Staff offers on-site academic learning coaches and content area specialists. Each student-athlete is designated a learning coach. The learning coach ensures that the student is engaging in the learning process with integrity. The learning coach supports the student in study skills development and fosters the use of self-regulation strategies. The content area specialists (Math, Science, English, and History) supplement the student-athletes' online curriculum with face-to-face instruction. The specialists facilitate small group discussions, assist with mastery of the content, and provide 1 to 1 instruction. Student-athletes receive continuity in their education without impeding the demands of developing elite soccer players. At the LA Galaxy Academy School, we set high standards both on the field and in the classroom. |
