PSI FAQ

PSI is not a school. Families use their own homeschool curriculum or online provider. PSI provides a structured place for supervised study blocks, sports performance training, life skills programming, nutrition habits, and a community service culture.

Initial programming is designed for middle school and high school student-athletes, generally ages 11–18. Exact age groupings may vary based on demand and staffing.

No. PSI training is built around universal athletic development: strength, speed, agility, power, conditioning, and durability. It supports multi-sport and year-round athletes.

Founding Families are a limited group that enroll early while PSI finalizes year-one capacity and operations. Founding Families receive locked-in tuition pricing and provide feedback that helps refine the program.

PSI serves North Phoenix and nearby areas. Final site details and opening timelines will be shared with interest list families first.

Students work on their homeschool or online curriculum in a quiet, structured space with adult supervision and Wi-Fi. PSI helps provide routines, accountability, and a consistent study environment.

No. Families may use their existing homeschool curriculum or online provider. PSI can recommend options if you want additional structure, but families remain responsible for curriculum choice and progress.

PSI provides supervised study blocks, structure, and accountability. If tutoring is offered, it may be limited and based on staffing and demand. Families should assume primary instruction remains with the homeschool provider/curriculum.

For most online programs, yes. Students should bring the device required by their curriculum. PSI will share device expectations before enrollment.

PSI Performance focuses on universal athletic development:

• Strength and foundational lifting technique
• Speed mechanics and acceleration
• Agility, change of direction, and deceleration
• Power development (jumping, sprinting, explosive movement)
• Conditioning and athletic durability

Yes, when coached correctly. PSI emphasizes technique, progression, and movement quality first. Training is scaled by age, experience, and readiness.

PSI uses small-group training with individualized progressions. Athletes may share a session, but loads, regressions, and progressions are tailored to each athlete.

Yes. PSI is designed to complement sport practice by improving strength, speed, durability, and recovery habits without overtraining.

PSI uses structured blocks so athletes can study, train, and build life skills without chaos. The exact schedule may shift by facility and enrollment, but the core format stays consistent: study time, training time, and development programming with clear transitions.

Specific times depend on the final facility schedule and the program version (full-day vs. trial). PSI will publish official times before enrollment opens.

PSI expects consistent attendance. If a student must arrive late or leave early, families will follow check-in/check-out procedures for safety and accountability.

Yes, that is part of the long-term plan. Availability depends on facility scheduling and staffing. Interest list families will be the first to hear about added offerings.

The trial is a half-day program designed to build trust, test the schedule, and prove the model. It includes performance training, life skills/leadership, and entrepreneurship/projects. It does not include the academics block.

The trial focuses on the most visible, high-impact blocks first: training, leadership/life skills, and project work. Academics will be part of the full-day model once final operations, staffing, and facility flow are confirmed.

That is the goal. Trial participation is intended to create a clear pipeline into the first wave of long-term enrollment options, subject to capacity and timing.

Yes. PSI offers trial a la carte enrollment for families who only want a specific block (performance training, life skills, or entrepreneurship/projects).

Tuition covers participation in the selected program version (full-day or trial half-day) and the included program blocks. Nutrition is an optional add-on when offered.

The deposit reserves a Founding Families spot and helps PSI plan staffing and capacity. Refundability is subject to PSI’s written deposit terms at the time enrollment opens.

A la carte enrollment allows families to select one program block without full enrollment. It is priced as a premium option for “one-block” families and is not intended to be cheaper than full enrollment.

PSI will publish official billing details (monthly schedule, accepted payment methods, autopay options, and due dates) before enrollment opens.

PSI plans to accept ESA funds from eligible students. Families are responsible for confirming eligibility and approved uses with their ESA advisor.

PSI separates study blocks and training blocks and communicates service categories clearly. Families should always confirm current ESA rules and approved purchase categories with their advisor.

PSI intends to provide standard documentation families may need, but reimbursement rules can change. Families should confirm required formats and approval steps with their ESA advisor.

PSI Fuel is the optional nutrition add-on focused on consistent fueling habits for student-athletes. Specific offerings (snacks, recovery options, or meal add-ons) will be communicated before enrollment.

Families will provide allergy and dietary restriction information during enrollment. PSI will outline ingredient handling, allergen policies, and any limitations before the nutrition add-on is offered.

If recovery shakes or similar options are offered, PSI will require parent/guardian permission and will communicate ingredients and standards clearly.

PSI is built on structure and accountability. Students are expected to follow directions, respect staff and peers, keep hands to themselves, and represent a high-character environment. A formal code of conduct will be provided before enrollment.

PSI will publish a clear phone policy. In general, phones should not disrupt study blocks or training. Any exceptions (medical needs, family communication) will be handled with staff.

PSI will publish an official refund/cancellation policy prior to enrollment. Because PSI reserves limited capacity and staffing, policies will prioritize predictable attendance and enrollment commitments.

PSI uses adult supervision during study blocks and coached supervision during training. The program is built around structure, clear rules, and consistent staff presence.

PSI will have clear incident procedures. Parents/guardians will be contacted, and appropriate first response steps will be taken based on the situation. Emergency services will be called if needed.

PSI intends to use appropriate screening and hiring standards for anyone supervising minors. Details will be provided in parent onboarding materials.

Not at launch. Families are responsible for drop-off and pick-up. PSI may explore carpool coordination tools or future transportation solutions depending on demand.

PSI will send an official checklist, but families should expect:

• Athletic shoes and training clothes
• Water bottle
• Device/laptop if required by curriculum (full-day)
• Any medically necessary items (inhaler, EpiPen) with proper forms

PSI will publish the official communication method (email, text, parent portal, or app). Expect clear weekly updates, schedule reminders, and incident/important notifications.
