From the Ivy League, SEC, Big 10, and beyond, IMG Academy has a strong history of propelling student-athletes on to success at the next level. Notably, our graduates have attended over 90 of the U.S. News & World Report Top 100 universities since 2012. Whether Divisions I, II or III or even professional, IMG Ascenders are committed to academic and athletic excellence and are surrounded by a highly-esteemed support system of coaches, faculty, and mentors to help them maintain that standard and achieve their dreams.
IMG Academy’s College Planning and Placement Department works with each student-athlete and their family to create an individualized plan towards their unique academic and athletic collegiate goals.

We know next steps after high school graduation can be daunting; that’s why IMG Academy provides intentional support and resources in advance, to help every individual prepare for the upcoming transition into their adult lives. For some, that means capitalizing on a “gap year,” or post-graduate year, after high school, to maximize their developmental training prior to selecting their college or university.
IMG Academy's College Placement Department utilizes Cialfo, a proven web-based system that enhances communication during the planning process, virtually connects families and student-athletes with advisors, and provides unparalleled research and informative details, all from one system. Cialfo also notifies student-athletes of upcoming deadlines and tasks, including NCAA eligibility criteria, SAT tests, advisor meetings, college fairs, and more. IMG sport coaches also have visibility into a student-athlete's progress within the program to ensure that sport recruiting, academic grades, and application deadlines remain aligned throughout the entire process.
From the Learning Resource Center (LRC) and tutoring, to summer school opportunities and standardized testing prep, student-athletes have an abundance of academic assistance available. The IMG Academy campus family 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.
