The Emerging Future

For student-athletes to thrive in 21st century college classrooms and beyond, they must be equipped with a skill set that embodies the mandates of a changing world. IMG Academy employs best practices that reflect current effective learning research through the strategic integration of information literacy and an instruction and curriculum plan that dictates the inclusion of complex, rigorous thinking tasks.

Additionally, myriad opportunities are provided for learners to engage collaboratively with peers in classrooms where teachers serve as a “guide on the side” rather than a “sage on the stage”. Support for this effort comes in the form of small class sizes, an accomplished and dedicated faculty, and a wide range of relevant, NCAA approved course offerings. IMG leads the way in terms of its resolve to launch literate, information-age graduates into prestigious higher education programs throughout the world.

International Students

To ease the transition and prepare international student-athletes for the next step in life, IMG Academy offers multiple English Language Development (ELD) programs that help non-native English speaker reach the same level of English-language proficiency as native speakers.

After testing and evaluation, student-athletes are prescribed an appropriate level of English training. All students are then evaluated at the end of each semester to determine progress and assign the next level of English training.
