Why Have An Academic Program
The question inevitably arises: why should our training academy have an academic program? After all, you have functioned fine up to this point. And an academic program adds additional administration, which translates to higher payroll, and another layer of difficulty when planning a daily schedule. However, the truth is that an academic program will bring discernible benefits to both you and your students.
The Benefits of an Academic Program
Student Benefits
Over the past few years, we have seen the weakness of online schooling: when administered poorly or without oversight, students' learning outcomes falter. Some students may have succeeded on their own, doing their schoolwork at the kitchen table, but many did not. Many students need both structure and support to excel at their online schooling, an environment we will help you create.
Structure
By creating a structured learning environment that mimics a traditional school classroom, while also training at your academy's field of choice, students have the benefit of social growth, academic support, and flexibility, allowing them to excel in academics and their sport or art form.
Parental Happiness
These benefits are a serious draw for parents, many of whom do not want their child's academics to suffer while they follow their dreams. An academic program provides parents with the comfort and security that their child can have it all, they can be prepared for college and for success in their chosen sport or artistic pursuit.
Financial Benefits
An academic program is not just good for your students. It's also good for the business aspects of your institution. An academic program will provide two major boosts, adding to its financial bottom line.
Competitive Market Advantage
Having a full-service academic program will provide you with a market advantage. As mentioned above, there are many parents who will support their child's dreams, but want their child to also have a solid education. An academic program allows you to market your academy directly to those parents. You become the nurturing school that cares about the whole child. Since programs of this sort are currently rare, you instantly jump to the top of the field, making your school a top destination.
Revenue Stream
On top of imparting a market advantage, an academic program will provide your school with a additional consistent revenue stream. Parents who desire this sort of environment are willing and prepared to pay for their child's enrollment. This will yield guaranteed income, year after year.
Consistency and Retention
One of the most important aspects of an academic program is that it fosters year over year consistency. This program will assist in building long-term relationships between the student and their family and your academy. Most parents would rather keep their child in a known schooling environment and not move them around. Similarly, the student will want to stick with the familiar program and their friends, typically staying until graduation. This will add to your academy's retention rate, helping the long-term financial bottom line.
