Online High School for Elite Tennis Players

Academics Designed for Competitive Tennis Players

Competitive tennis requires dedication, discipline, and countless hours of training. Between private lessons, strength and conditioning, tournaments, travel, and competition schedules, traditional school can make it challenging for student-athletes to reach their full potential both on and off the court.

Whitmore School provides a flexible online high school experience designed for student-athletes who need their education to fit their athletic goals—not the other way around.

With self-paced learning, personalized teacher support, and NCAA-approved courses, Whitmore helps tennis players balance rigorous academics with the demands of competitive training and tournament schedules.

Education. Flexibility. Excellence.
Helping student-athletes succeed in the classroom, on the court, and beyond.
