THE SPIRE WAY

SPIRE is committed to unlocking an individual’s full potential. We integrate professional training, education and competition across a wide variety of sports, disciplines and possible career paths.

Sports is our foundation, but our specialty training options will eventually include a wide mix of potential professions as well. From basketball to esports, swimming and wrestling to track and field and drone racing, no other academy can match the diversity of our curriculum offerings. SPIRE student athletes attend boarding school semester programs, but also have the opportunity to experience intense 3-day to multiple week training camps. Our academic mission is dedicated to developing the entire individual and to preparing him/her to achieve peak performance in school, at work and in life. The “SPIRE Way” places equal focus and extra emphasis on the development of strong minds, strong bodies and strong character.
