We are elevating the game. The CORE Prep Academy has partnered with Village Christian Middle School to launch a new elective program that will ensure your student-athlete is unlocking their full athletic potential, while thriving academically.

Through this unique program, student-athletes will receive focused training from elite coaches and work alongside the VCS Athletic Department to hone their skills as they move through the Middle School years. Enrolled as students at VCS, the Sports Performance Elective is blocked with Physical Education class during periods 1 and 2, maximizing daily development time using the athletics facilities on campus. Beginning with period 3, student-athletes will then engage in VCS’ innovative Middle School education, keeping them simultaneously growing in the classroom and surrounding them with a caring, Christ-centered community steeped in 75 years of tradition.

The Sports Performance Elective is not for athletes new to basketball. Student-athletes will be trained by the CORE staff using the same successful program that has produced NCAA athletes and High School All-Americans. Graduates have gone on to attend some of the top collegiate programs in the nation, including UCLA, Kentucky, Illinois, Gonzaga, Loyola Marymount, and Penn.

Space is limited for this application-based program. Current VCS families are eligible to apply for the Elective, but may not reclassify or retake previous coursework.

Once enrolled, attendance is mandatory. The Elective is evaluated with the student-athlete’s other coursework and will hold a formal grade on their official transcripts.
