How Does Online High School Work for Athletes?

Online learning empowers students to learn where and when works best for them. All students attend regularly scheduled LiveLesson® sessions with teachers and peers, as well as complete independent work. But for many of our students who are also pursuing their athletic ambitions, this increased flexibility—combined with essential family and teacher connections—is essential to their ongoing success, both in the classroom and in sport.  

What Are NCAA-Approved Online Courses?

Depending on whether your student wants to participate in Division I or Division II college athletics, they will need to meet an established core-course credit requirement. Texas Connections Academy offers a number of NCAA-approved online courses, which count towards this requirement.
