YSC Academy opened the doors to its current academic facilities in September 2013.
The School’s location directly adjacent to the YSC Sports soccer facility – where students engage in athletic training – makes the connection between students’ athletic and academic lives seamless. YSC Academy’s academic and athletic facilities are both state-of-the-art resources, making high-quality teaching and learning possible.
The school environment was designed with the modern workspace in mind. We wanted the space to foster idea generation, collaboration, and increased productivity – all with an eye toward preparing our students for success in a technology-driven, 21st century. It is not hard to see that YSC Academy embraces where and how students learn. Most of the school’s floor plan is open-air, with break-out nooks and study pods creating a setting where students, teachers, coaches, and administrators can formally or informally congregate. The glass windowed, conference style classrooms, library, and study pods are flexible spaces that can be reconfigured to engage different kinds of learners and teaching methodologies (including hybrid style learning, lecture style seminars, and writing/math workshops, as well as individual and collaborative breakout sessions) and to provide flexibility for exploration and innovation, which is underscored by the fact that most of the furniture is on wheels. Murals wrap around our town-hall area depicting quotes and motifs from famous literary, political, and athletic figures. The most noticeable classroom in the school is an open-air structure that resembles the European soccer stadium, Allianz Arena. The “Generation adidas” classroom as we call it houses an oval-shaped table for roundtable discussions. Upon entering this unique classroom setting, students are encouraged to put forth an intensity of effort.
Our training facilities at YSC Sports provide our student-athletes with a first-class, professional training environment that includes indoor and outdoor training fields as well as an outdoor competition field with a professional-grade, playing surface. The state-of-the-art Athletic Development Training room includes a full weight room, a spring-loaded gymnastics floor, cardiovascular training equipment and a wide range of other equipment that enables players to enhance their strength, speed, balance, agility and flexibility.
