Grades 6-12
Program Details
The hallmark of an IMG Academy education is a robust curriculum, an abundance of learning experiences that require collaborative problem solving, and subject-specific assignments in which learners critically and creatively examine the world around them. The IMG Academy faculty forms the core of a much greater academic support team that includes parents, administrators, coaches, house parents and campus life staff members, all of whom work tirelessly to positively impact academic, athletic and character growth.
The focus of the IMG Academy curriculum is to develop critical thinking, collaboration, perseverance and communication skills through the study of traditional subject areas. The school's curriculum is designed to prepare student-athletes for the rigors of university life.
