A New Era for Student-Athletes and Young Professionals
Where Training Meets Teaching—and Both Thrive
Today's students are pushing boundaries beyond the classroom. They’re competing nationally, training daily, performing professionally, and working toward long-term goals that require real time, real travel, and real dedication. Whether they’re athletes, dancers, actors, musicians, or artists—their schedules look more like professionals than students.
At Ivy League School, we understand the unique rhythm of this lifestyle—and the enormous growth it can offer when paired with the right academic environment.
That’s why the Professional Academy is built to accommodate:
- Student-athletes preparing for club-level recruitment, NCAA timelines, or elite team competition
- Performers and creatives navigating auditions, rehearsals, showcases, or film work
- Students reclassing (redshirting) to gain an additional year of academic, physical, or emotional readiness
- Families balancing growth opportunities with a desire for academic consistency and connection
The Reclass Year—Reimagined
We’re seeing a growing number of families use the Professional Academy as an intentional year to “reclass” or “redshirt” —allowing students to mature, reset, or accelerate at a pace that supports their long-term goals.
Reclassification at Ivy League isn’t a detour—it’s a strategic choice, paired with a custom curriculum and developmentally appropriate support. Whether it’s strengthening foundational skills, boosting confidence, or taking extra time to train, our program allows students to emerge more prepared, more focused, and more equipped.
“This was the first time a school didn’t ask us to choose between our son’s goals and his academics. The Professional Academy became the bridge between the two.”

The world is changing for young professionals—and Ivy League is proud to lead the way in how schools adapt to support them
