Subject Tutoring and Seasonal Support
Signature Academics and Signature One-to-One School are the "go to" team for high-achieving, goal-oriented student-athletes from middle school through college.
In the face of demanding year-round schedules of extracurriculars, including training, travel, and competition in high level sports, Signature educators enable today’s ambitious students to pursue extracurricular passions while maintaining high levels of academic excellence.
Whether a student is looking for the full-time, year-round flexibility of "hybrid" learning, or just needs a couple of hours of academic support because of a few missed school days during the height of the show season, Signature Academics offers academic expertise combined with full understanding of the equestrian world and its unique scheduling challenges. With a year-round location in Wellington, a seasonal location in Ocala, Florida, and a presence at major national horse shows including Devon, Harrisburg, Washington, and Kentucky, plus always online, Signature Academics has been the team for high achieving equestrian student-athletes for over ten years.
Academic Excellence for Seasonal Students
Year-round, seasonal, in-person, and online. Traditional brick-and-mortar, online, public or private, day or boarding. We’ve seen it before and we know how to make it work.
The Signature team brings decades of teaching experience, subject expertise, degrees from top institutions, and direct involvement in each student’s academics to be sure students maintain high levels of achievement even when physically away from their full-time schools.

Schedules - Seasonal Equestrian Students
During the Winter Equestrian Festival and the winter seasons at World Equestrian Center and HITS Ocala, tutorials for equestrians who re-locate to Florida for all or part of the winter are scheduled from Monday through Thursday. Most students compete on Fridays, so they prefer to complete their academic work by Thursday afternoon. We do, however, schedule additional sessions on Friday, Saturday, or Sunday for non-equestrian students, if a student requests them, or if a student needs extra time for any reason.
We also schedule tutorials on weekends for students who travel to Wellington or Ocala each week, missing Friday, and sometimes Thursday, class-time. Often, scheduling tutorials over the weekend makes a big difference for these student “road warriors.” They are able to complete all their schoolwork before they get on the plane, exhausted, to fly home Sunday night.
Schedules - Year-round
Signature Academics remains flexible and available for students throughout the calendar year. Just give us a call to let us know what you need, and we will make it happen. We specialize in "academic emergencies," and can often meet a student's need for help within a couple of hours.
Our goal is to be sure everyone - teachers, administrators, parents, and students - is comfortable and confident that academic achievement is always the priority, no matter what our students need during any days and weeks away from their full-time schools.
No one offers more high-level educational options for ambitious student-athletes.
