Dear DME Parents,
I am excited to announce that DME Sports Academy is partnering with Xceed Preparatory Academy (www.xceedprep.org), to be our exclusive school and curriculum provider for our academy students beginning in August 2019. Xceed, based in South Florida, currently has three schools in Broward and Miami-Dade County and its unique educational beliefs and approach has it poised for significant growth.
The Xceed mission is designed to meet the unique needs of elite middle and high school athletes. The Xceed educational model provides personalization, online curriculum, flexible schedules and attentive in-person academic staff preparing students for college and beyond.
Xceed was started in 2017 and based on CEO Dr. Brent Goldman’s past as a pioneer in the development of distance and internet-based education and his desire to better perfect online learning. Xceed is accredited by AdvancEd which is the most prestigious accrediting agency for K-12 and post-secondary schools. The Xceed DME location will open fully accredited and is expected to be NCAA approved in the early fall 2019 and SEVIS approved (the ability to issue visas to international students) by early 2020.
Our new school will be located at Daytona Field House, home of DME Sports Academy, and we are busy sprucing up the new classroom space with new flooring and furniture. Students will no longer have to leave campus for classes! Xceed will hire a Head of School and subject certified teachers to work with our students. They will be trained by Xceed prior to the beginning of the school year and will work with the existing Xceed employees throughout the school year.
More specific details regarding our partnership with Xceed Preparatory Academy will be sent to you in the next few weeks. We believe the addition of Xceed to DME Sports Academy will transform our academy for many years to come.
Best Regards,
Dan Panaggio
