A Guide to NCAA-Approved Online High Schools for Pennsylvania Athletes

Your student-athlete’s training, travel and competitions can make online school appealing for your northeast Pennsylvania family. But your choice matters for college sports eligibility. Not every course meets National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) requirements. As you weigh flexibility against your athlete’s college plans, which online high school in Pennsylvania offers courses the NCAA accepts? How Does NCAA Eligibility Work for High School Athletes? Before choosing, understand the eligibility review. At Division I and II colleges, the NCAA Eligibility Center reviews student-athletes’ academic and athletic eligibility before they can play. The academic review includes approved core courses, which are high school classes the NCAA accepts when judging whether a student qualifies. Check your school’s approved-course list and tell your school counselor early about college sports plans, as the NCAA advises. Look for an online school with approved courses and counselor support.
