Built to Move With the Scholar-Athlete: SALA Partners with TPH Academy Online Powered by Subject

Scholar Athletes Leadership Academy Powered by TPH Names TPH Academy Online Powered by Subject as Official Academic Provider for 2026-27 School Year

PITMAN, N.J.: Scholar Athletes Leadership Academy (SALA) has selected TPH Academy Online Powered by Subject as its Official Academic Provider for the 2026-27 school year, giving SALA scholar-athletes an academic experience built to keep pace with high-level training, competition, travel, and changing athletic goals.

SALA is a nationally accredited and state-registered private school district comprised of two independently accredited school campuses, serving student-athletes in Grades 4-12 from across the Northeast. For a decade, SALA has built a school experience that connects academics, athletics, and leadership development through individualized schedules, student agency, growth mindset, and daily professional training.

TPH Academy Online Powered by Subject is designed for student-athletes whose schedules do not fit a traditional school day. Through a private, fully accredited online academic experience, students can learn at an individualized pace around training, competition, travel, and other development opportunities while maintaining one consistent academic plan as their goals evolve.

That flexibility is supported by a 22-credit graduation path and 100+ middle and high school courses, including NCAA-approved core classes, AP and honors options, early college credit, foreign language, and custom electives. Subject is accredited by Cognia and WASC, while TPH Academy’s academic team supports transcript evaluation, course planning, NCAA eligibility, college applications, essays, and standardized testing.

Online does not mean alone. Students have access to live academic support Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. CST, 24/7 Spark AI tutoring, and one-on-one Learning Lab tutoring with a 24-hour request turnaround. The mastery-based model focuses on demonstrated understanding rather than seat time, with progress monitoring and academic coaching to keep each student moving forward.

That academic support will seamlessly complement the comprehensive blended learning environment that SALA has built over the last decade. SALA will continue to lead onsite athletic training, student development, leadership, accountability, and day-to-day academic support. Together, the two teams will monitor progress, coordinate individualized academic plans, and help each student stay on track toward graduation, college, and life beyond sport.

SALA’s approach has produced a 100% graduation rate, a 100% four-year college acceptance rate, and a broad cohort of 52 professional sports contracts signed. Its club-neutral structure and flexible school day allow scholar-athletes to remain connected to their teams while pursuing athletic opportunities and academic growth.

“This partnership represents exactly how TPH Academy can help exceptional sports organizations expand what they provide to student-athletes,” said Adam Ewing, Chief Academic Officer of TPH Academy. “SALA has built a strong onsite culture focused on training, leadership, and personal development. Our role is to strengthen that experience by providing the academic infrastructure, expertise, and remote support students need to succeed in the classroom while continuing to pursue their athletic goals.”

“We are excited to partner with TPH Academy Online and provide our families with an academic solution designed specifically for scholar-athletes,” said Marisol Portilla, Director of Student Success, SALA. “This partnership allows SALA to remain focused on delivering exceptional onsite training and daily student support while giving our students access to the academic flexibility, structure, and resources they need to succeed.”

Since 2014, TPH student-athletes have attended universities listed in the U.S. News Top 100 and recorded more than 30 college commitments to top universities in 2025-2026, including Yale, Dartmouth, Boston College, and the University of California, Irvine.

By combining SALA’s on-site environment with TPH Academy Online Powered by Subject’s academic resources, student-athletes can keep moving forward in the classroom while training, competing, and pursuing the next level without compromise. SALA continues to offer rolling admissions throughout the school year. Families can learn more at scholar-athletes.com and tphacademy.com/online/.
