WELCOME TO THE INSTITUTE FOR CHAMPIONS & LEADERS
ICL Academy offers maximum flexibility with world class academics tailored to student passion. Your education is customized to fit the framework of your life, led by an inspired community of champion mentors and like-minded peers.
Our curriculum is rooted in practical application, infused with technology, and built to prepare students for the rapidly evolving challenges of the 21st century.
​
We don’t think families should have to compromise. With the ICL Foundation providing support, we are proud to offer families an affordable, fully accredited college preparatory program.
WHAT IS IMPACT LEARNING?
ICL's Impact Learning Model empowers students to transform their passion into purpose through customized academics and leadership training.
IMPACT LEARNING equips students to think critically and makes learning relevant. By drawing on real-life examples, students are challenged to investigate historical connections, explore today’s physical and social environment, and solve the global problems of the future.
​
ICL students engage in an inquiry-based curriculum that promotes curiosity, nurtures creativity, and emphasizes innovation. Learning virtually, side-by-side with like-minded peers, students are taught by exceptional instructors in an atmosphere of collegial engagement.
IMPACT LEARNING PILLAR 1
ACADEMICS TAILORED TO PASSION
The key to enhanced student engagement and joy of learning is to make academic classes relevant to students and their own lives. If a student is a tennis player, tennis is used as a teaching modality to engage the student in the subject matter. ICL’s fully accredited academic program combines world-class academics with real-world, personalized application, including a college preparatory program with weekly live classes, 1:1 office hours with teachers, and self-paced asynchronous learning.

INSPIRING PEER COMMUNITY
Every student at ICL is inspired and driven to become best in class in their personal passion. Perhaps your classmates are training for the Olympics, starring on a hit TV show, or captaining travel teams. On a daily basis, students form meaningful relationships with friends, teachers, staff, mentors, and advisors. Through ‘passion pod’ collaborations, live teacher instructional office hours, school events, meet-ups and student-led clubs, you'll develop life-long friendships with some of the most dynamic students in the world.

WORLD CHAMPION MENTORS
No other online school can match ICL’s global leaders and world champions.

These industry luminaries provide direct mentorship, guidance, and interaction with our young champions and leaders.
Problem of this generation:

CHARACTER & SERVICE LEADERSHIP
ICL Students are champions of others. For over 20 years, ICL's award-winning Character and Service Leadership Program (CSL) has been a transformative educational experience that empowers students to become influential student leaders and make a lasting impact for college and beyond. The CSL program is a partnership between the Institute for Civic Leadership (501c3) and Dr. Jim Loehr's Youth Performance Institute. We teach and instill character in everything we do.

DYNAMIC COLLEGE COUNSELING
We know what’s on your mind - we’re parents too. When you send your child to private school, you are expecting the kind of curated, individualized attention and guidance that ICL Academy provides. College planning is a conversation that starts at the very beginning of our journey together.
​
Students begin creating their ICL resume when they write their Personal Mission Statement, then receive regular counseling, SAT/ACT prep classes, assistance creating NCAA student recruiting profiles, full access to Cialfo, and hands-on webinar workshops.

TESTIMONIALS
01
Our kids attend ICL Academy, and they have never been happier. The teachers and staff are wonderful. It's such a relief to know that both of our children are getting such an excellent education, and to see how happy they are to get up and attend school each day is something that we aren't used to. ICL Academy gives our kids the flexibility to follow their dreams in music, but at the same time, the teachers work with the kids to ensure they are keeping up with their education; we couldn't have found a better school for our two children!
VIA NICHE
ICL STUDENTS ARE
DRIVEN BY THEIR PASSIONS
Engagement, application, flexibility. High-achieving students need individualized pathways to support them as they pursue their dreams.
At ICL, customized coursework is tailored to students' passion. Everything we teach is contextualized into our students' individual identity.
​
Each student is supported by a cohort that dreams in the same direction. And they are inspired by world champions who engage and motivate the next generation of champions - our students.
