Learn the Business.
Shape your Future.
SPIRE is no longer just a place for students who aspire to compete at the highest level. It's also a place for students who want to build a future in the business of sport.
Turn Your Passion
Into Your Future.
Love sports? Build a future in the world surrounding them.
At SPIRE Academy, students with a passion for business, innovation and the world of sports can turn their interests into a meaningful four-year educational journey. Our new Entrepreneurship and Sports Marketing & Management majors combine a strong college-preparatory education with hands-on experiences inside a world-class sports environment. Learn alongside determined athletes from around the world as well as gold medal coaches. Discover what happens behind the scenes of sport.
Build the confidence, knowledge and skills to pursue your own path.
Your interests. Your major. Your future.
Both majors build on SPIRE's established college prep academic program. Students complete their core academic requirements while pursuing a four-year sequence that connects classroom learning to real-world experience.
As one of the world's largest sports education facilities, SPIRE transforms its campus into a living classroom, leveraging its expertise in athlete development, performance research, sports business and event operations to give students hands-on learning opportunities in a dynamic environment.

The world of sports is a powerful engine for innovation, creating business opportunities around athletes, the markets they serve, the products they use and the facilities where they train and compete. At SPIRE, our campus becomes your entrepreneurial laboratory, a place to identify opportunities, test ideas, solve real-world challenges and develop a process for turning innovation into success.

At SPIRE, we believe personal performance matters whether you're preparing for a championship, a college interview or your first business presentation. Students in our new majors benefit from the same philosophy of whole-person development that defines the SPIRE experience. You don't have to compete in a sport to learn how to perform at your best.
