Jontue Cooper II, an 8th-grade student with Springs’ Venture Online Program, trains daily at Above and Beyond Basketball in pursuit of his goal of becoming a professional basketball player. He and his family selected Venture so that his academic schedule could work more effectively with his basketball practice.
He appreciates that he can access all his coursework via computer and that he is able to work ahead when he knows his basketball schedule will be more demanding. His mother, Camille Davis, said that Jontue has “thrived in this environment, and has grown and matured exponentially.”
