Accredited high school requiredAbout the program
Train alongside Mastery students every morning in the same core curriculum — specialty coaching, handstands, tumbling, strength & mobility. Afternoons are yours for academics.
This isn’t a watered-down version of Mastery. The morning training is identical. The difference is that you’re still completing high school, so afternoons are dedicated to education.
High-speed Wi‑Fi and dedicated study space are available on-site. All students get unlimited self-training access.
Who it’s for
High school students ready to commit to professional-level training while completing their education.
If you’re still in school — even if you’re 18 — this is your program. If you have a diploma or GED, see Mastery in Circus Arts.
Mastery Prep and Performance Track are parallel paths, not sequential. Mastery Prep means restructuring your life around training. Performance Track fits around a normal school schedule.
Accredited school required
High school options for circus studies.
Enrollment in an accredited high school program is required. These online/virtual options work well with morning training.
