Selective collegiate athlete development

The bridge to your next level.

The WAIA Collegiate Development Academy is a proposed university-inspired training and competitive athletics experience for high-school graduates who demonstrate discipline, coachability and commitment. Admission follows an athlete evaluation and academic review.

  • January entry: early graduates can pursue winter and spring training
  • June entry: May graduates can begin summer development
  • Football: fall competition is planned with year-round development options
  • Other sports: baseball, basketball and future men’s and women’s programs as capacity allows
  • Academics: expected college-level courses (up to nine semester credits per regular term), with individualized NCAA compliance review
  • Options: commuter or separately arranged residential participation

NCAA eligibility depends on the athlete's individual facts, age, enrollment history, coursework, competition and applicable rules. WAIA will review plans with appropriate compliance personnel. No recruitment or scholarship outcome is guaranteed.

Questions families ask

Frequently asked questions

Is WAIA an online school?

WAIA's proposed expansion uses an online-first model supported by academic guidance. Athlete development includes optional in-person training. The current admissions team should confirm each student's school-of-record and credential arrangements.

Can an adult take just one college course?

Yes, the adult pathway is being designed for individual course requests as well as multi-course plans, depending on prerequisites and current provider availability. Credit transfer is decided by the receiving college.

Will athletes live on campus?

Not necessarily. WAIA is designing both commuter and optional residential participation. Residential housing agreements and terms must be confirmed before any placement is promised.

Will taking a college course preserve NCAA eligibility?

Eligibility is individual. WAIA will not represent that a specific number of credits always protects eligibility. We recommend written review by appropriate NCAA or receiving-institution compliance personnel.

Do you offer career certificates?

Career and technical programs are planned. Specific programs, certificates, instructor availability and any required state authorizations will be announced only after confirmation.

How much is tuition?

New high school supplemental course enrollments are $499 per semester course, including course planning, registration and basic academic guidance. The initial consultation is free, and Andre handles registration after review and required approvals. Existing enrollment agreements are unchanged. Standard three-credit online university courses begin at $1,295 with WAIA student services included. Other course and program pricing varies and will be disclosed before enrollment.
