For Student Athletes Who Are Going to the Next Level.
NCAA eligibility is built in the classroom. It begins in 9th grade.
Academics are not separate
from your athletic career.
They are the foundation of it.
Biscayne Bay Preparatory Academy supports student athletes who need the flexibility to train, travel, and compete while still building the academic record the NCAA requires. Our online model gives you full control over your schedule — without compromising your eligibility.
Important Notice for Student Athletes
BBPA is a new school and is in the process of submitting our course list to the NCAA Eligibility Center for approval. This is a standard process for new schools. Student athletes who enroll now will work directly with our enrollment team to ensure their coursework is documented and submitted correctly. Contact our enrollment team before or immediately at enrollment if you are a student athlete.
The Numbers That Matter
To compete at the college level, you need to meet these.
