Honest Game and Fusion Academy Partner to Help Student-Athletes Achieve Success

Chicago, IL (June 2, 2022) – Every year thousands of high school student-athletes hoping to play college sports encounter academic roadblocks that prevent them from reaching their goal. Student-athletes can fall behind academically, take the wrong class, or miss their opportunity because of an NCAA requirement technicality. This requires finding the right educational solution to get and stay on track – and those can be hard to find. 

Now, a new partnership between Honest Game and Fusion Academy will provide a clear pathway and support for student-athletes to meet their academic goals, leveraging the power of sport to create more pathways to college.  

Both Fusion and Honest Game work with thousands of student-athletes across the nation to help them reach their full potential. Honest Game, an education technology company that simplifies the academic eligibility requirements required to play sports in college, is partnering with Fusion to connect more student-athletes to educational opportunities in their preferred setting that will help them attain their post-secondary goals.

Honest Game’s technology helps student-athletes and their families avoid missteps and provides a clear academic roadmap so that all students have more opportunities to find the right college fit. Oftentimes, that means additional coursework and specialized academic support. Through the partnership, Honest Game families and student-athletes will now have an opportunity to access Fusion’s personalized, one-to-one education services.

Fusion is an innovator of personalized education and its middle and high schools are fully accredited and offerings include NCAA-approved classes for credit, tutoring and mentoring services, and post-secondary counseling.

Classes are one-to-one: one student and one teacher/mentor per classroom and the entire educational experience is personalized for each student. Full-time and part-time options are available for in-person, virtual and hybrid learning.

“So many young student-athletes are grappling with tremendous expectations and obligations. Honest Game’s software provides them and their families with some clarity and a roadmap to follow,” said Honest Game CEO Kim Michelson. “Fusion provides student-athletes with a flexible learning environment with built-in social-emotional supports. Together, Honest Game and Fusion will build confidence and positivity into a student-athlete’s everyday life, giving families peace of mind and a path to meet their college goals.”

They are a strong value-add for our families.”
