NCAA-Approved Core Courses
NCAA Eligibility for Northgate Academy Students
Northgate Academy offers NCAA-approved core courses that student-athletes can use toward the academic requirements for competing in college. Our account with the NCAA Eligibility Center is cleared, which means our approved core courses and our proof of graduation can both be used in the initial-eligibility certification process.
Accredited Education
Northgate Academy is accredited by Cognia and the Middle States Association, which means that colleges, employers, and the military accept the diploma your student earns.
Affordable Tuition
We offer monthly payment plans that bring the cost of a private Christian education within reach of more families.
Flexible Learning
Our self-paced courses allow students to enroll at any point in the year and to work at a pace that fits their family's schedule.

Look Up Our Approved Course List

Check it again before a student registers, since course lists are reviewed and can change from one year to the next.
Northgate Academy’s NCAA high school code is 240003.
Coursework That Fits an Athlete’s Schedule
Northgate Academy’s NCAA-approved core courses let student-athletes keep their academic eligibility on track while they train and compete. Coursework is online and self-paced, so school fits around practice, travel, and competition rather than the other way around.
Our Core Course List
Core Courses for Student-Athletes
Our NCAA-approved core courses are part of the same accredited curriculum every Northgate Academy student takes, so a student-athlete earns the same diploma as everyone else.
The courses listed here cover language arts, mathematics, science, social studies, and world languages. It is a selection rather than the official record, which the NCAA Eligibility Center maintains.
Learn Anytime, Around Your Training
Coursework is online and available at any hour, so a student can work around practice, travel, and competition rather than fitting training around a class timetable.
Courses Recognized by the NCAA
Our approved core courses meet NCAA academic standards and appear on Northgate Academy’s own list with the NCAA Eligibility Center, under school code 240003. That list is what a student’s initial-eligibility review is checked against.
Stay Prepared for the Next Level
Our accredited curriculum gives student-athletes the academic base colleges look for. Families can use our NCAA school code to check the current approved list as they plan each year’s courses.
PLEASE NOTE
Northgate Academy provides a selection of NCAA-approved core courses; however, the NCAA Eligibility Center maintains the official and most up-to-date course list for every school.
Because NCAA approvals can change, students and families must verify Northgate Academy’s current approved courses directly through the Eligibility Center.
Completion of NCAA-approved courses does not guarantee eligibility. Eligibility is determined solely by the NCAA based on the student’s complete academic record and NCAA regulations.
