At Moses & Mary Christian Academy, we are committed to supporting student-athletes in meeting NCAA eligibility requirements for college athletics and scholarships. We ensure that our academic programs align with the NCAA's core course standards for Divisions I and II, and we actively monitor any updates to these requirements. Our staff and coaches work closely with students and families to communicate changes and provide guidance every step of the way. To qualify for NCAA programs, student-athletes must complete 16 core courses, including English, math (Algebra I or higher), science, social science, and additional core subjects like foreign language or nondoctrinal religion. Division I eligibility requires a minimum 2.3 GPA and a corresponding ACT or SAT score on the NCAA Sliding Scale, while Division II requires a 2.2 GPA and test score alignment. By staying informed and intentional in our academic planning, Moses & Mary ensures our athletes remain on track for college success both on and off the field.
