The Academy Prep was founded in Suwanee, Georgia in 2024, and is the first of its kind as a 501c3 incorporated needs based program in the southeast region of the United States.
At The Academy Prep, we are committed to providing a unique opportunity for youth who come from low-income areas, broken homes, and at-risk youth by mentoring them spiritually, educationally, and physically.
This opportunity is accompanied by our accredited educational partner, Friendship Christian School.
“The Academy Prep provides a once in a lifetime opportunity for students-athletes from around the world, offering an environment where by academic standards are never sacrificed in the name of athletic excellence. Our goal is to create success stories for youth domestically and internationally, using athletics as the tool.”
- Kenny Gaines, Founder | Head Coach
