Our Strategic Partnerships
At North Miami Beach Academy, we believe that meaningful partnerships are essential to building a thriving academic and tennis community. We are committed to fostering strategic relationships with local organizations, educational institutions, municipal entities, and community partners who share our vision of excellence and accessibility. By collaborating with valued partners throughout South Florida and beyond, we create opportunities that extend beyond our courts and classrooms — connecting families to resources, enhancing our facilities and programming, and strengthening the broader community we serve. These relationships reflect our understanding that success is built together, and that the best outcomes emerge when we work alongside others who are equally invested in developing champions in sport, academics, and life.
Florida International University
North Miami Beach Academy is proud to operate on the Florida International University Biscayne Bay Campus (BBC), located at 3000 NE 151st Street in North Miami. This university campus setting provides our students with an inspiring environment where academics and athletics come together in a way that few programs anywhere can offer. Our students benefit from the energy, culture, and atmosphere of a working university campus — training and learning in a collegiate environment that naturally broadens their perspective and strengthens their college readiness. The Biscayne Bay Campus is home to our Junior Full-Time Academic School, Junior Competitive Afterschool Program, and Junior Private Lessons for all levels. With beautiful waterfront surroundings and a structured academic setting, the FIU BBC location gives NMBA students a daily experience that is truly unlike any other junior tennis and academic program in South Florida.
City of North Miami Beach
We are deeply grateful for our partnership with the City of North Miami Beach, which has entrusted us as the sole operator of the Judge Arthur Snyder Tennis Center (JASTC). This municipal tennis facility, located at 16851 W Dixie Highway, provides our students with outdoor training opportunities featuring 12 clay courts and 6 hard courts in a welcoming community setting. JASTC serves as home to our Adult Programs, Adult Group Clinics, Junior Afterschool Program, and Private Lessons for all ages and levels. The strategic location in the heart of North Miami Beach makes tennis accessible to local families while offering our academy students a professional training environment that blends competitive excellence with the inclusive spirit of public recreation. This partnership reflects our shared commitment to developing both athletic talent and community wellness through the sport of tennis.
Cognia Accreditation
North Miami Beach Academy is proud to hold full accreditation through Cognia, one of the most respected accrediting bodies in education worldwide. Cognia accreditation is a rigorous, performance-based process that evaluates the quality of an institution's educational programs, leadership, and continuous improvement practices. Earning and maintaining this accreditation affirms that NMBA meets the highest standards of academic excellence — a distinction that carries significant weight with universities, scholarship organizations, and families seeking a credentialed, accountable school environment. For our student-athletes, Cognia accreditation ensures that the education they receive is recognized and respected at every level of higher education, both domestically and internationally. It is a commitment we take seriously, and a standard we are proud to uphold every day.
Step Up for Students
North Miami Beach Academy is an approved and registered partner school with Step Up for Students, one of Florida's leading scholarship funding organizations. This partnership makes a North Miami Beach Academy education accessible to a broader range of families by allowing eligible students to apply Step Up scholarship funds toward their tuition. Step Up for Students administers several Florida-based scholarship programs designed to give families greater educational choice — including programs for students with unique abilities, students from lower-income households, and students who may not be thriving in their current school environment. By qualifying as a Step Up eligible institution, NMBA affirms its commitment to academic accountability and its belief that every deserving student-athlete should have the opportunity to train and learn in an exceptional environment, regardless of financial circumstance. We encourage families to explore their eligibility and contact our admissions team to learn how Step Up funds can be applied toward enrollment.
University Sport Program
North Miami Beach Academy's partnership with University Sport Program (USP) is a cornerstone of our college placement services and one of the most valuable resources we offer our student-athletes. USP is an internationally recognized organization that specializes in connecting high-performance junior tennis players with collegiate athletic programs across the United States. Through this partnership, NMBA students gain access to USP's extensive network of NCAA and NAIA coaches, personalized recruitment guidance, and a structured pathway designed to match each athlete's academic profile and competitive level with the right university opportunity. USP's proven methodology — built on years of international placement experience — complements NMBA's own college preparation curriculum, ensuring our student-athletes are positioned, promoted, and supported throughout every stage of the recruitment process. For families with aspirations of playing college tennis, this partnership represents a decisive advantage.
