For Parents & Students with a Passion for Individual and Club Sports

At Cambrian Academy, we believe in developing true student-athletes—students who thrive in both academics and athletics, and who are prepared for success in college sports and beyond.

Customized PE for Your Student-Athlete Journey
As a small private school, we recognize that many high-achieving students are already dedicated to their own sport, often at a level beyond what a traditional school team can offer. That's why our Independent Physical Education (PE) program allows students to substitute their sport of choice—whether it's soccer, tennis, martial arts, motorsport, or another discipline—in place of standard high school PE classes.

• For Club & Elite Athletes: If your student is part of a Player Development League, Club Sport (like Club Soccer, Quakes Academy, Junior Sharks Hockey), or trains individually in an advanced program, they can count this as fulfillment of their PE graduation requirement.
• Academic Flexibility: By recognizing your student's training as PE, we provide an extra free period in their schedule, allowing more time for academic focus without sacrificing athletic development.
• No More Choosing Between School and Sport: You don’t have to choose between pursuing your passion and maintaining academic excellence. Cambrian Academy is built to support students in both.

Real Success Stories: Our graduates have gone on to earn full college athletic scholarships at top universities:

• Drake Callender - former Cambrian student, became goalie for UC Berkeley and is now a top-rated goalie in Major League Soccer.
• Ellie Trevino - plays soccer for UC San Diego.
• We’ve seen Junior Sharks, championship-winning club athletes, and even motorsport champions among our alumni.

What Does This Mean for Your Family?

• If your student loves their sport and is committed to it—potentially even considering playing in college or beyond—Cambrian Academy will officially support and recognize it as their PE program.
• This support system frees up time to take on challenging courses, advanced placement classes, or additional electives—letting students build a standout academic AND athletic profile.

How the Program Works

• Approval: Their club coach or trainer verifies active participation and training hours.
• Regular Updates: Students (or coaches) provide periodic updates/logs to the school.
• Academic & Athletic Balance: Students gain more convenient scheduling, maximizing their potential in both realms.

A Partnership for Success
Choosing Cambrian Academy means joining a school that partners with you to nurture all-around success. Let us support your student’s journey as a scholar and an athlete, paving the way to college and to a future where they never have to sacrifice one passion for another.

If you’re already committed to a sport you love and want a school that will stand behind you, Cambrian Academy welcomes you.
