DENVER–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Destinations Career Academy of Colorado (CODCA), a tuition-free Colorado online public school, is excited to announce that the NCAA has approved its core curriculum, benefiting elite student athletes throughout Colorado that have opted for online learning at CODCA.

CODCA prides itself on being a flexible schooling option for students with different types of learning needs and schedules. One of the groups CODCA serves well is elite athletes with demanding practice schedules that would otherwise be too challenging to manage with a brick-and-mortar school environment. At CODCA, student athletes can do their course work from anywhere there is an internet connection and on their own time. With CODCA’s NCAA approval, the Colorado online public school can help set students up for athletic and academic success in college and beyond.

Receiving NCAA approval means that our state’s elite athlete students no longer must choose between getting a sound education and pursuing their passions. They can manage their busy training schedules while still getting a Colorado public school education at CODCA that offers them the flexibility and opportunities to pursue their athletic passions.
