What Are NCAA-Approved High School Programs?

• Achieving the minimum GPA for core courses.
• Earning qualifying scores on standardized tests like the SAT or ACT.

AHSA’s programs align with these standards, offering flexibility and personalized support to help student-athletes excel both in academics and athletics. Learn more on our NCAA Programs page.

Florida’s Unique Advantage for Student-Athletes

Florida’s FHSAA (Florida High School Athletic Association) rules provide a distinct benefit for private and homeschool athletes. If their school doesn’t offer a specific sport, students are allowed to participate in that sport at a local public or charter school.

This policy means AHSA students can:

• Compete Locally: Join teams at public or charter schools while remaining enrolled in AHSA.
• Balance Academics and Athletics: Flexible scheduling ensures students can focus on both sports and academics.
• Maintain NCAA Eligibility: AHSA’s curriculum aligns with NCAA requirements, ensuring student-athletes stay compliant while benefiting from FHSAA opportunities.

Maintaining NCAA compliance is critical for student-athletes who aim to compete at the collegiate level. Compliance ensures:

1. Eligibility: Students qualify to play sports in college and compete for scholarships.
2. Scholarship Access: Academic success aligns with requirements for athletic scholarships.
3. Future Success: NCAA compliance builds a strong foundation for success both on and off the field.
