Welcome to Ignite Learning Academy, where flexibility meets excellence – making it the perfect fit for a flyer (or base!) like you!
Flexibility to Balance Practice, Travel, and School
As a competitive athlete, your schedule is packed with practices and frequent travel to competitions – often resulting in missed days of school. Our online school allows you to customize your study schedule around your athletic commitments, ensuring you can excel both on the mat and in the classroom. And as a bonus, you’ll have some extra free time you didn’t have before.
Anywhere, Anytime Learning
With our online school, you can access your courses from anywhere with an internet connection. Whether you’re on the road for a competition or at home taking a break, you can keep up with your schooling without missing a beat.
Live Classes are Always Recorded
We offer tons of live classes, virtual clubs, class parties, and more – but there’s no penalty to you or your grade if you can’t attend a live class. As a bonus, all live classes are recorded so you can always watch them at a time that better suits your schedule, or review something covered in class for extra understanding.
Personalized Support
Our dedicated teachers, academic counselors, and staff understand the unique challenges faced by competitive athletes – we have MANY athletes of all kinds enrolled at ILA with demanding schedules! Your teachers will work closely with you to ensure you stay on track academically while balancing a rigorous training and competition schedule.
Focus on Performance
By attending our online school, you can dedicate more time and energy to honing your skills as an athlete. With fewer distractions and the ability to manage your time effectively, you can maximize your performance on the mat. (And parents, you can probably snag a nice and early private lesson with a coach before the other kids are even out of school!)
Preparation for the Future
Our rigorous curriculum prepares you not only for college, but also for life beyond the arena. You’ll develop valuable skills including time management, self-discipline, and resilience, which are essential for success in any field. Our courses are fully accredited and also NCAA approved, so if you are looking forward to playing any Division I sports in college, we’ve got you covered!
Fun Fact: Ignite Learning Academy’s founder, Dr. Kelly Van Sande, has a daughter who competes with Cheer Athletics. Her daughter has been involved in All Star Cheer since she was 7, so Dr. Van Sande loves the sport and understands the demands it places on students and families – especially as it relates to education!
Enroll at Ignite and experience the perfect balance between academic excellence and athletic pursuit. Let us support you in achieving your dreams both in All Star Cheer and in your education!

The staff and school model works really well for our family’s situation which is a student that is a ski racer who is skiing 5 days a week so a traditional model is not compatible and independent study doesn’t meet the social and accountability needs of the learner.
We truly love our school and the opportunity it affords our son to do what he loves and is good at without compromising his educational quality or his sport training either…the best of both worlds!
