A 6 – 12 school that includes Post-Graduate offerings, Middlebrooks Academy provides a challenging and supportive environment that brings out the best in student-athletes.

Through our joint venture with Beach Cities Learning Centers, our academic program is a candidate for accreditation by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC). In addition, all of our core academic class offerings are approved by the NCAA Eligibility Center, as well as the University of California and California State University systems.

Our course offerings are a hybrid of online classes, coupled with offline instruction, science labs and tutorial support.

At Middlebrooks Academy, we shape student-athletes, and it's reflected in the success of our 1st graduating class...
