SWS Progression to College
SWS Diploma Is Internationally Accepted
SWS diplomas and credentials originate in the USA since our school code is registered in the Florida Department of Education. They are recognized worldwide – under the EQF in the European Union and under the ISCED 2011 – UNESCO classification internationally. We issue a diploma with an apostille certificate, which is another insurance for the document’s validity.
We would like to emphasize that online education for elementary, middle, and high school is a legitimate form of education. That being said, SWS students gain high-quality knowledge and earn an internationally accepted diploma, which ensures a smooth progression to higher education.
Program Approved by the NCAA
The NCAA is a nonprofit organization that regulates student-athletes and allows them to continue playing sports professionally while studying. The NCAA covers three divisions and 24 sports disciplines. Sport World School is one of the rare online schools approved by the NCAA, as a non-traditional schooling program, for all three divisions. We’re proud to say that it opens many opportunities for our students.
Proof of Quality
Our online program complies with the NCAA standards, which is one of the proofs of its quality. Students at our online high school gain high-quality knowledge that enables them to follow and understand the study program at the college.

Sports Scholarship
The NCAA grants $3.5 sports scholarships to more than 180.000 students each year. All students who finalized SWS high school can apply for the NCAA sports scholarships. By getting a scholarship, a student has a chance to continue to play sports while getting a higher education. Similarly, the NCAA can help college students reach the professional level faster.
It’s Good to Have a Plan B
We know that our students want a career as a professional athlete. But, if things don’t go as planned, a student will need a plan B. Also, everyone needs an alternative after their professional athletic career is over. That’s where education comes into play. A high-quality knowledge and an SWS diploma open the doors for our students, so they can continue their education elsewhere and acquire a relevant college degree. Thanks to that opportunity, they can always pursue a career in other industries outside of sport.
The NCAA is an American organization, and therefore it covers only colleges in the US. However, with an SWS diploma, students can apply to any college or a university in their home country or anywhere in the world.
