At 16, Eden Albelda was a nationally competitive equestrian athlete with a 4.3 GPA and Division I recruiting on the horizon. She needed two things from a school — NCAA approved coursework and the flexibility to compete without compromise. "Acellus was the only one that was super rigorous and still going to give me a good education — and also was NCAA accredited — which was a big selling point being that we were going for athletics collegiately." — Eden Albelda She made the switch for her junior year. Twenty minutes between horses. Thirty minutes waiting on a vet appointment. An hour in the evening when the day slowed down. Her education traveled with her — to Florida, to competitions, to veterinary ride-alongs and collegiate riding camps. Every opportunity became easier to say yes to. On May 23, 2026, Eden walked across the stage at Acellus World in Kansas City — a High Honors graduate with a 4.0 GPA, a top 95th percentile SAT score, her NCAA eligibility cleared, and a Division I scholarship to her first choice school. 🐴🎓 This fall she heads to UT Martin — majoring in Animal and Veterinary Sciences on her way to veterinary school specializing in large animal and equine medicine. "Acellus proved to be an essential part of Eden's journey, showing us that a top education and high-level athletics don't have to compete when a student has the right support and the right educational fit." — The Albelda Family Congratulations, Eden. Acellus Academy is so proud of you. 💙 👉 Learn how Acellus Academy supports student athletes at https://www.acellusacademy.com/blog/supporting-your-student-athlete-in-online-high-school/ #AcellusAcademy #OnlineSchoolForAthletes #NCAAEligible
