Participating in extra-curricular activities can be an incredibly enriching experience for students, but it can also be challenging to balance the time and energy required with the demands of their academic studies. Online learning can provide an ideal solution for students who are involved in time-consuming extra-curriculars.

Accredited, NCAA approved courses: Student athletes interested in playing sports in college will want to seek out NCAA approved courses to align with most college athletic program requirements. NorthStar Academy offers accredited, NCAA approved courses that prepare students for the next level. Check out this episode of our podcast, The NorthStar Narrative to hear more about navigating college sports and the NCAA. We also have a great episode about balancing education and extracurriculars here.

Flexible schedule: Online learning allows students to complete coursework on their own schedule. This means that students can complete assignments at times that are convenient for them, even if it means studying late at night or early in the morning. This can be particularly helpful for students who are involved in extracurricular activities that take up a significant amount of their time.

Adaptability: Online learning provides students with the opportunity to adapt their studies to fit their personal needs. Students who have time-consuming extracurricular activities can work at a pace that suits them, whether that means taking additional time to complete assignments or working ahead. NorthStar has several tools that help students pace themselves in a way that aligns with their schedules.

Online learning can provide a flexible and efficient solution for students who are involved in time-consuming extra-curricular activities. It can allow students to balance their academic and extracurricular commitments, and to access resources, and adapt their studies to fit their personal needs. With a flexible schedule and adaptable workloads, students can reduce stress and make the most of their time, making the balancing act of school and extracurriculars less overwhelming.
