How A Blended Learning Model Really Works? 

 

• Virtual curriculums allow students to work at any time that best suits their schedule
• Student-athletes are monitored both in-person in a classroom provided by the club as well as remotely during travel and tournaments, if necessary, to ensure progress is being made consistently

• Students are participating in a college prep program, preparing for life outside of the academies and post-soccer career

Where Athletic Committment Is Encouraged

We believe that a commitment to sports training provides student-athletes with the tools needed to succeed in life. Our affiliated academic programs will ensure that your student-athlete has flexibility between academic and athletic programs to succeed at both.

Collaboration and understanding between academic and athletic expectations are key to success. Through organized, structured, and focused scheduling we can offer the best of both worlds with time management as the key driver of development. Friction exists in standard educational models, at DME Academy, powered by SAI Academy, we welcome the dreams of students and athletes and see value in pursuing both avenues to creating well-rounded leaders of tomorrow.
