guiding your elite athlete homeschool options with clarity and balance.
How can homeschooling help my athlete? What classes should we homeschool? Will credits transfer for graduation?
CDA Founder Tika Haake has helped her own and other elite athletes follow a hybrid homeschooling model that gives them a more balanced lifestyle. We help you work with your high school and explore your options and oversee progress.
More Balanced Lifestyle: homeschooling just 2 classes a semester will give your athlete more time and flexibility to handle those long training sessions and learning complex topics
Custom Roadmaps: aligned to NCAA + college expectations
Hybrid Philosophy: hybrid homeschooling let's your athlete go to school for some classes and homeschool a couple classes for socialization and flexibility
Targeted Subject Help: math, science, English/writing when it matters most

SchoolHouse Teachers offers complete homeschooling for any class for multiple kids in one family membership. SHT is teacher-created and includes all lesson plans, lessons, and tests beautifully organized for each class!
(Tika uses it for her kids and is an affiliate partner)
Although SchoolHouse Teachers are not accredited, most schools accept non-accredited course transfer requests by completing a form with detailed course info, which SHT provides. Many school districts allow teens to graduate with a HS Diploma by homeschooling (partime or fulltime) 9-11th grades, and attending full-time senior year.
