Academics Come First

Three structured academic blocks every day, the same proven TPH St. Louis academic model — and eligibility reviewed daily.

Two Enrollment Pathways

TPH St. Louis is not itself an accredited school — students enroll through their Missouri public school district or our private school partner, EYC Academy. Same support, same platform, same daily experience either way; the difference is simply where credits, transcripts, and diplomas are issued from.

OPTION 1

Public — MOCAP

Remain enrolled in your Missouri public school district through the Missouri Course Access Program — earning credits and report cards, graduating with your district's diploma, and keeping eligibility for school sports and social events. Courses must be approved by the district.

OPTION 2

Private — EYC Academy

Enroll through our private school partner, EYC Academy — credits and transcripts issued by EYC, certified teachers behind every course, and more flexibility for curriculum and electives. Our Head of Academics works directly with EYC staff to enroll each student.

The Platform: Edmentum

A blended model — online coursework inside an in-person, structured classroom. NCAA-approved, Missouri-approved, and asynchronous, ideal for traveling athletes.

Same Courses, Real Rigor

The same courses students would take at their traditional school — including Honors and AP when applicable.

Lessons & Tutoring

Live tutor rooms, recorded lessons, guided note sheets, and teacher communication — including access while traveling.

On-Site Support

TPH academic staff monitor the classroom, grades, and pacing; teach time management and organization; and verify real effort and learning.

Parent Visibility

Family login for registration, payment plans, and academic tracking — full transparency all year.

See How Admissions Works

Prepared for What Comes Next

Athletic careers end. An education, a transcript, and the habits behind them do not.

TRANSCRIPTS

NCAA-Ready Academics

NCAA-approved coursework with enhanced transcript oversight — eligible and prepared for college sports from day one.

EXPOSURE

College & Career Readiness

College admissions preparation, guest speakers, and career workshops that show students what comes after the academy — years before they get there.

OWNERSHIP

Self-Led Young Adults

Students manage their own pacing, deadlines, and priorities inside a structured day — and learn to advocate for themselves directly with teachers. By graduation, self-management is a years-old habit.

LEADERSHIP

Leading & Serving

Student Leadership Board, Big Brother/Big Sister mentorship, and community service — students practice responsibility for people other than themselves.
