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 professional as well. From basketball to esports to swimming, track & field, lacrosse, soccer and wrestling - 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 clinics and extended training camps. The “SPIRE Way” places equal focus and extra emphasis on the development of strong minds, strong bodies and strong character.
