Elite Performance Prep Academy Georgia / About Us
ABOUT US
Partnering with parents to design the most Elite educational experience for their child. Whether you are looking for a Microschool (Homeschool with Academic Coaches) AND top sports performance training – or tutoring options, we are here to help.
About Us
We are parent advocates, classical learners and we partner with families at several different levels. Elite is for the parents and guardians who lack time, capacity or any other ability to fully commit to homeschooling their children. There are several options that most people might not even know exist, but we want to educate you about all of the available resources!
If you’ve been uneasy about the school setting your child is in, or you just want a sports performance emphasis in your student athlete's academic day (yet still allowing your athlete to play for their district Middle/HS), and you’ve been looking for other options, call us today to find out how we can help. It’s time to take your power back… and we’re here to help every step of the way!

Who We Are

Our student body consists of 70+ students across 10 different states. We are opening in Suwanee Georgia (with over 20 years experience with elite club athletes training and playing). The original Elite Performance Prep Academy opened in 2022 in Las Vegas and have even recently enrolled a couple international students in France and Samoa. We will have learning centers across the US with a plan to plant more in 2025.
Whether in the classroom or in Sports Performance training, we are committed to helping students achieve their full potential while becoming lifelong learners.

Our mission is to provide a rigorous and innovative education and sports performance training that prepares students for the challenges of the future and high level competition readiness, while also fostering a sense of curiosity and a lifelong love of learning.
We believe that character is just as important as academic achievement. We work to instill values rooted in: family, knowledge, respect, discipline and commitment to all of our students. We also recognize the importance of entrepreneurship in today’s economy, so we provide opportunities for students to develop their creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills.

We understand that entrepreneurship requires a high level of problem solving and critical thinking, so we create a space that allows students to step into an elite role at a young age. Our students are encouraged to teach part of the lessons, and direct discussions, so they are able to practice public speaking.
