Starting high school is an exciting adventure, and being a student-athlete adds more fulfillment to the experience. Sage Oak’s high school program understands the unique challenges faced by student-athletes, aiming to balance academics with the dedication needed for their chosen sports. This program helps students excel academically and athletically, enhancing their overall high school experience.
At Sage Oak Charter Schools, we understand the importance of balancing academic goals with the demands of sports. Our personalized learning model enables student-athletes to align their education with their athletic schedules and individual needs. With a carefully tailored four-year plan created by each student’s Education Advisor (EA), we ensure every semester is mapped out to help students stay on track for graduation while leaving room to pursue their passions. Our mission is to help students discover and cultivate those passions, preparing them for life beyond high school with robust college and career readiness.
Customized Curriculum Choices
Student-athletes work closely with their EA and parents to choose a curriculum that challenges and engages them while fitting seamlessly into their athletic schedules. Our diverse curriculum includes live instruction courses, engaging digital content, and textbook or novel-based courses designed to cater to different learning styles. Whether students prefer hands-on science labs, community provider classes, or Advanced Placement (AP) courses, they can find the right fit to match their interests and aspirations.
Concurrent Enrollment for College Credits
Our concurrent enrollment program allows students to take courses at California community colleges, earning valuable credits while still in high school. Sage Oak also offers comprehensive curriculum options covering core subjects like math, language arts, science, history, and electives, ensuring a standards-based education that lays the groundwork for future success.
Supportive Education Advisors
Sage Oak’s passionate and credentialed EAs help students easily navigate their academic journey. They offer guidance on pacing assignments, provide resources, and offer academic counseling—whether a student needs accelerated learning or credit recovery to meet graduation requirements. They also assist with meeting local and state testing requirements, ensuring students remain on track toward their goals.
Personalized Planning for Future Success
While sports commitments can be demanding, Sage Oak’s rigorous curriculum prepares students for life after high school. Sage Oak student-athlete Breken, for instance, excels on and off the ice. He benefits from the flexibility of our program and the NCAA-approved high school courses, which set him up for success in academics and athletics. Sage Oak helps student-athletes like Breken blend their athletic and academic goals seamlessly through personalized planning, supportive guidance, and the right curriculum.
Empowering Student-Athletes Beyond the Classroom
At Sage Oak, our focus isn’t solely on academic success; it’s about guiding students on their journey. We encourage student-athletes to explore innovative curricula and think beyond the classroom. Our project-based learning and community college partnerships prepare students to excel academically and athletically while developing a global perspective and growth mindset.
