Anonymous wrote:OP - you want IMG Academy in Florida. There's nothing like it here unless you choose a specific sport and go to their school. but your kid has to be the top 1% in his age group.
Example Philly Union has an on campus school for a few hours, and then the rest of the day you play your sport.
But you have to be really really good to even get into Philly Union academy. So, short answer is no there isn't something similar in this area...but you can find them in the US (and maybe even within the mid atlantic) if your kid is elite.

But the thing is that while they offer sports teams, they are not, in and of themselves, sports focused. The ones that allow part-time enrollment mostly assume that subjects for which the student is not enrolled are going to be homeschooled by the parent, and the modified schedule ones assume that a bunch of work will be done at home. Off the top of my head
Covenant Christian Academy in Warrenton - 3 days in school, 2 days off. https://www.covenantva.org/about/what-is-a-university-model-school--.cfm
(Grace Prep and the Capitol Hill Learning Group also are university model schools)
Dominion Christian offers part time enrollment.
And, of course, there's Fusion, but as far as I know, they don't have sports teams.

$90k per year for IMG (Boarding in FL)
$28k per year at the St James TPH (non boarding)
$30-80k per year at other traditional boarding schooling's for sports in the NE US.
Otherwise the DC area is devoid of lots sports academies.
Dang, I'd near heard of IMG until now. Their website says, "Across IMG Academy’s available programs and services, our student-athletes fill approximately 25% of all college freshman roster spots annually." How is that possible?!
