Academic Overview

Under Pressure Basketball Academy has teamed up with the Permission to Succeed Education Center, a micro-private school and tutoring center, to provide an academic program that is tailored to the individual needs of each student.  Students benefit from a dynamic academic program that offers flexibility, 24-7 OnDemand tutoring, a diverse curriculum for personalized learning, and true grade-level placement.   Our students have a great support network with certified school counselors, well-qualified teachers, and one-to-one lessons. Our platform empowers students to learn at their own pace, anytime and anywhere.

  • Flexible Scheduling:  Our year-round academic program allows students to work at their own pace without falling behind.  With in-person, hybrid, and remote options, students can choose a platform that fits their learning style while maintaining control over their schedule to pursue their passions.  

  • True Grade Level Placement:  Comprehensive assessments allow us to customize lessons across subjects based on a student’s true grade level.  If a student is in the 10th grade but is at a 9th-grade level in math and a 12th-grade level in English, there is no need to bore them in some classes while they are struggling to keep up in others.  Permission to Succeed will tailor lessons to bring students up in areas that are lacking while allowing them to excel in the subjects that come more naturally.  We offer AP classes and dual enrollment for college credits to ensure students are realizing their full potential.

  • Personalized Learning: Recognizing that each student has unique learning preferences, our platform incorporates adaptive technology and personalized learning paths. Students can tailor their learning experience according to their individual learning styles, progressing at a pace that suits them best. This personalized approach enhances comprehension, retention, and overall academic achievement.

  • 24/7 Tutoring: Our academic program offers round-the-clock access to professional tutors through the TutorMe platform.  Our tutors specialize in over 300 subjects and are true experts in their fields of study with only 4% of tutoring applicants receiving placement. Students can receive personalized assistance, ask questions, and clarify concepts at any time.  Both in-person and virtual tutoring is available.  Students can request continuous sessions with the same tutor or request someone new for a fresh perspective.  This ensures continuous support and guidance, leading to better understanding and improved academic performance.

  •  Well-Qualified Teachers: We have a team of highly skilled and experienced certified teachers who are passionate about their subjects and dedicated to student success.  Teachers must hold a bachelor’s degree or higher, have three or more years of k-12th grade teaching experience, or have expertise that qualifies them to provide instruction on k-12th grade subjects. These teachers undergo a rigorous selection process and possess deep knowledge in their respective fields. They provide engaging and interactive lessons, guiding students through the curriculum and fostering a love for learning.

  • Interactive Learning Tools: Our platform employs various interactive learning tools, including multimedia resources, simulations, virtual labs, and educational games. These tools foster active learning, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills, making the learning experience more immersive and enjoyable for students.

  • Progress Tracking and Assessment: We provide comprehensive progress tracking and regularly scheduled assessments.  Our platform makes it effortless for parents to stay abreast of their child’s progress. 

  • High School Diploma:  Upon graduation, students receive a private school diploma.  Students must maintain a minimum GPA of 3.5 or higher to ensure that our graduates are prepared for academic success. Under Pressure Basketball Academy graduates will be well equipped for college acceptance with a private school diploma, an impressive GPA, strong athletic ability to compete for basketball scholarships, a record of community service engagement, and compelling evidence of personal development. We take an active role in our students’ transition to college with campus tours, college application assistance, and career advising.
