The St. James Performance Academy offers a rich and rigorous, college preparatory academic curriculum provided in partnership with TPH Academy.
We are committed to helping our student-athletes achieve their goals by providing a unique opportunity to train during normal school hours within a safe, competitive, and fun environment that includes:
This holistic approach allows athletes to push the boundaries of their athletic potential, without compromising their educational pursuits.
Recent TPH graduates have attended top universities for both athletic and academic purposes.
Conveniently located in Springfield, VA, just outside Washington, DC, The St. James Flagship is a 450,000-square-foot indoor sports complex that offers best-in-class athletic training. Facility highlights include:
While we are one team, The St. James Performance Academy (STJ Academy) is not a sports team. We are an academy where you can focus on your individual skills, while still playing for your current team. This makes for an amazing training environment where our student-athletes build a community with other like-minded student-athletes.
Each student-athlete learns from certified teachers through our customizable virtual platforms, with 24/7 access to virtual tutors. Our on-site Director of Academics and Success Coach(es) are additional resources who cultivate an environment conducive to learning. These multiple layers of support ensure that your student-athlete receives a personalized academic plan, preparing them for the game of life.
Our student-athletes train four days a week in our on-site High Performance Training Center with our coaches.
DID YOU KNOW: student-athletes can receive physical education credit for the training.
Although they are certainly welcome to, we do offer a meal plan through our restaurant, located inside the facility, that includes healthy and delicious options at an affordable price.
This is one of the primary benefits of The St. James Performance Academy. Traditional systems are not conducive to the lifestyle of the aspiring, elite student-athlete. We understand the travel that sports require and the toll that a season can take on a student-athlete. The beauty of our platform is the flexibility we can provide by operating virtually. Need a recovery day? Stay home! You can do your course work from home, and our staff can send you a home workout. We believe our student-athletes get the most out of their experience by attending on-site, but we understand that may not always be possible. That shouldn't mean school is interrupted, it is simply adapted to meet a student-athlete's needs.
The goal of our mentorship program is to educate our student-athletes in “the process” of becoming elite. This program is centered around Coach FA's Mentorship Program, and also includes community service, field trips, and guest speakers.
The St. James Performance Academy is constantly assessing our students' needs and customizing their workloads to best support their paths to success. We require our student-athletes to fill out daily surveys tracking sleep, nutrition, injuries, and more, to provide a holistic view of their physical and mental health, and to assist our staff in accurately and effectively balancing their workload.
We can provide support for IEP's and 504's, and our learning environment is designed to support all types of learners and set each student-athlete up for success. Students must complete a determination meeting with our education partner to ensure we can meet their needs.
