At North Miami Beach Academy, we’ve created something truly unique — a fully accredited K-12 college preparatory school seamlessly integrated with elite tennis training on Florida International University’s Biscayne Bay Campus. This is a place where student-athletes never have to choose between academic excellence and athletic achievement. Both are given equal time, equal resources, and equal standards of excellence.
Excellence isn’t just our goal — it’s our standard.
Where Academic Excellence and
High-Performance Tennis Training Unite
At North Miami Beach Academy, we've created something truly exceptional — a fully accredited K-12 private school seamlessly integrated with a world-class tennis development program. North Miami Beach Academy is located on the Florida International University Biscayne Bay Campus — a working university campus that gives our students daily access to the kind of environment that inspires academic ambition and athletic focus. Operating on a university campus sets NMBA apart from every other junior tennis and academic program in South Florida, providing our students with a college-ready mindset long before they step foot in a university classroom.
Cognia-accredited K-12 college preparatory curriculum with small class sizes, NCAA-approved coursework, and individualized learning plans.
4+ hours of high-performance on-court training daily with professional coaches on university tennis courts — structured, intentional, and results-driven.
Fitness training, mental performance coaching, tournament planning, and college placement support — every dimension of a student-athlete's development, under one roof.
Our model was built around a fundamental belief: student-athletes should not have to choose between academic achievement and athletic excellence. For over 30 years, the leadership at NMBA has developed champions in both the classroom and on the court — and the Full-Time Academy is the most complete expression of that philosophy.
Students train alongside classmates who share the same drive and ambition, creating a competitive environment that elevates everyone. Classes are small by design, allowing teachers to function as true learning coaches — not lecturers — adapting to how each student learns best.
On the court, our professional staff delivers a structured, progressive training methodology covering technical development, tactical training, athletic preparation, and match play — four hours daily, every day. This is not supplemental activity. It is the program.
Whether your student-athlete is training for college recruitment, professional development, or simply pursuing a passion with the highest level of seriousness, the NMBA Full-Time Academy provides the environment, the coaching, and the credentials to get them there.

What Families Are Saying
Hear directly from the families and student-athletes who have experienced the NMBA difference — in the classroom, on the court, and in college placement.
At NMBA, we found an international community of warm, caring people — a close-knit community where our son made great friends. The values of NMBA matched ours: putting the well-being of children and teenagers first, helping them develop their technical tennis skills, how to compete, but also learning how to process defeat and success — skills which make total sense on a tennis court, but are invaluable in real life as well.
Today my son is a more responsible person with a clearer sense of direction — not just as an athlete or student, but as a person. The best option you have for your child is to come here and give it a chance.
