Commitment to Higher Education
Qualifying for a racing scholarship at Cambrian International Academy requires both a commitment to the sport of racing and a commitment to higher education. CIA students are expected to stay on a college-bound track. Our primary goal is for our students to gain admission to the top-tier four-year colleges, where we expect them to complete a full degree program. Ryan Newman is a good example of a successful stock car racer who has come to value the education he received at Purdue. He finished the 2009 season in 9th place--one of the top 10 stock car drivers in the top league in the world! Watch this interview with him.
We expect our students to maintain a 3.5 grade point average or better while participating in extracurricular sports. Our small class size and dedicated staff ensure that this is all attainable.
Commitment to the Sport
Cambrian International Academy racers have a specialized Physical Education curriculum. Physical fitness must be maintained, especially when participating in endurance races.
Students will be expected to attend some practices during school hours, and scheduled races after school hours (some Tuesdays and Sundays).
Application for a racing scholarship requires parents to promise that they will support their child's commitment to the program.
