GRADES 5–12 – ISI ACADEMY
WALNUT CREEK, CA · OLYMPIC VALLEY, CA · CENTRAL INSIP, NY · FRISCO, TX
The training isn’t after school.
It is school.
Sport-specific training a week with an accredited college-preparatory curriculum.
One campus, one schedule, no trade-off.
Most programs ask a fourteen-year-old to pick a side — rigorous academics or elite athletics as a focus.
We think that is a false choice, and we built the timetable to prove it.
We promote and emphasize the ambition and talent of young student-athletes so they can be successful both in sports and in life.

A WEEK IN THE BUILDING
Every hour is accounted for.
ISI's weekly plan focuses on individual athletes training load periodized across five days - Activation on Monday, peak endurance midweek, light preparation on Friday. Our athletes arrive to their competitive events fresh rather than flat.
