Oak Hill Academy is proud to announce a new opportunity for dedicated high school soccer players! Beginning with the 2025–26 school year, we are launching the PSG Academy Pro Residency, a program developed alongside the globally recognized Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) Academy USA.
This elite residency program brings proven European professional soccer development methods directly to our historic Virginia campus, using the strengths of two world-class organizations.
Paris Saint-Germain is an iconic football club known for its sophisticated approach to developing top-tier talent. Oak Hill Academy contributes our own deep history of nurturing elite athletes—including our 9X National Champion basketball program and boasting over 250 college and 45+ NBA alums—within a supportive, structured boarding school environment.
This initiative offers a unique combination designed to integrate elite, professional-style soccer development with a premier college prep education. We’ve crafted it for ambitious players who don’t want to choose between athletic dreams and an academic future—providing a clear pathway to excel in both.
Here at Oak Hill Academy, student-athletes join a challenging, rewarding environment where high-performance training and rigorous coursework go hand-in-hand, preparing them for top-level soccer and success at leading universities—and beyond!
Solving the Elite Athlete’s Dilemma
Young athletes with exceptional talent often face a challenge: finding the time to reach peak potential in sports without sacrificing educational quality.
Intense training demands, travel, and rigorous academics can force difficult compromises, as traditional school structures may lack the needed flexibility or specialized support. The PSG Academy Pro Residency at Oak Hill Academy offers a clear solution.
Our vision is to provide a seamless, integrated pathway where elite athletic development and rigorous academic achievement become complementary components of growth. We remove the need for compromise by embedding professional-level soccer training within our top-tier college preparatory framework, empowering student-athletes to maximize their potential in both arenas.
Decoding the Official PSG Methodology
Authentic Paris Saint-Germain training methodology is central to the residency. This comprehensive approach develops intelligent, adaptable, complete players through four key pillars: tactical intelligence, technical mastery, strength and conditioning, and mental discipline.
Authenticity and quality are vital—at Oak Hill, players train daily under highly qualified, UEFA-licensed coaches officially certified by PSG Academy. This guarantees a genuine extension of PSG’s renowned development system delivered right on our campus.
Expect professional-level immersion: the program features intensive, year-round development, typically including twice-daily training sessions. Tactical classroom instruction, video analysis, and integrated strength and conditioning complement the on-field work—all structured to foster discipline and a professional work ethic.
Stepping onto the Big Stage: Competition and Global Exposure
At Oak Hill, we believe world-class training requires meaningful, year-round competition. This allows players to regularly test their skills and gain important exposure.
Residency teams will compete in top-tier club leagues, key regional and national showcase tournaments, and interscholastic matchups against other leading high schools. This demanding schedule provides consistent visibility to college coaches and professional scouts actively recruiting in these environments.
Our official partnership also opens unique international doors. Students receive potential opportunities for exclusive experiences like training camps in France and benefit from inclusion in PSG’s extensive global scouting network—a significant advantage we facilitate for players with collegiate and professional aspirations, domestically and abroad.
The Power of Place: Why Our Boarding Environment Breeds Success
Oak Hill Academy’s unique residential setting is key to our student-athletes’ success.
Unlike the experience at a typical public high school, our boarding environment provides focused structure, minimizing distractions while maximizing growth opportunities. We offer a 24/7 support system where students develop crucial life skills—independence, resilience, effective time management, and more—under the guidance of dedicated faculty and staff. This supportive framework allows PSG Academy Pro Residency participants to fully immerse themselves in both athletic and academic pursuits.
Our campus is designed as a safe, nurturing, and growth-oriented learning environment. We foster a championship culture extending beyond athletics into personal development and academic achievement. Students live and learn within a community valuing discipline, mutual respect, and hard work. This atmosphere encourages aspiring athletes to push their boundaries, receive constructive feedback, and build foundations for lifelong success, all within a structured daily schedule balancing their demanding commitments.
This structured environment provides the ideal foundation for academic success and lifetime achievement.
Where Academic Excellence Meets Athletic Ambition
As one of the nation’s leading college preparatory schools, Oak Hill Academy ensures that the PSG Academy Pro Residency shares that same firm commitment to academic excellence.
Our mission extends far beyond the field—preparing student-athletes for success at top universities drives us. This begins with our fully accredited, rigorous academic curriculum, carefully designed to meet and exceed NCAA eligibility standards while challenging students intellectually. We ensure athletic participation complements, rather than compromises, academic goals.
Small class sizes and a low student-to-teacher ratio are central to our academic success. This allows for truly personalized learning, where teachers understand individual needs and provide tailored support. We seamlessly integrate academic schedules with elite soccer training demands, teaching students balance.
Our dedicated faculty and academic support systems work closely with each athlete, ensuring they stay on track, develop strong study habits, and are fully equipped to prepare students for collegiate academic rigors.
More Than Teammates: Building Community and Character
Life at Oak Hill Academy centers on a strong sense of community. Our student body comprises motivated young people from diverse backgrounds, united by shared goals of academic achievement and personal growth—whether in athletics, arts, or other pursuits.
Within this vibrant community, students build lasting friendships, learn effective collaboration, and support one another’s ambitions, fostering an environment of mutual respect and shared purpose extending beyond any single program.
Developing well-rounded individuals with strong character development skills is also essential. Opportunities for leadership development and meaningful community service are woven into the Oak Hill experience, encouraging students to look beyond themselves and contribute positively.
And while residency participants maintain intense focus, many students participate in various extracurricular activities available on campus. This ensures outlets for other interests and promotes a balanced, enriching high school experience beyond the soccer pitch and classroom.
Developing the Complete Athlete: Mind, Body, and Character
At Oak Hill Academy, our commitment lies in developing a whole, well-rounded student—not just the athlete.
Our sports programs offer many benefits for student-athletes, instilling strong character, leadership skills, and ethical understanding in all students. We integrate these values into daily life and specific programming. Participants in the PSG Academy Pro Residency grow into responsible, resilient, principled individuals. Dedicated resources support this development, aimed at optimizing peak performance: personalized nutrition guidance, access to sports psychology professionals, and effective physical conditioning programs tailored to elite soccer’s demands.
This supportive structure guides student-athletes successfully through their entire high school journey. Consistent mentorship and resources feature throughout the entire upper school experience, ensuring students in grades 9 through 12 receive age-appropriate guidance and preparation needed to thrive academically and athletically. Our goal remains to equip them with the mental fortitude, physical readiness, and personal character required for excellence long after they leave Oak Hill.
Cultivating Well-Rounded Individuals
While the PSG Academy Pro Residency demands significant focus, we believe in a well-rounded education’s value.
Oak Hill Academy provides avenues for students to explore interests beyond primary pursuits. Our school offers diversified extracurricular opportunities, including engaging Arts Programs and opportunities in the Performing Arts. These allow students to cultivate creativity, discover new talents, and maintain balance within demanding schedules.
We encourage participation in diverse activities, fostering broader perspectives and skills.
Launchpad to the Next Level: Proven Pathways
The PSG Academy Pro Residency is an effective launchpad toward a future our student-athletes envision. For those targeting collegiate careers, the elite PSG-level training combined with Oak Hill’s rigorous academics offers a distinct advantage in the competitive recruitment process. It thoroughly prepares them for top university programs, including NCAA Division I opportunities.
Our focus on academic excellence helps students build strong application profiles, supported by competitive test scores and transcripts reflecting classroom dedication.
For players dreaming of professional careers, the program delivers focused development, exposure, and connections through the PSG network, creating clear pathways toward that goal. Joining the PSG Academy Pro Residency means becoming part of Oak Hill Academy’s proud athletic achievement legacy.
Our tradition of excellence across multiple elite sports teams demonstrates a long-standing commitment to developing high-caliber athletes and preparing them for top-level success. This program builds upon that proven foundation.
Why Oak Hill Academy Stands Out: Key Program Pillars

Here’s what makes this program stand out from other private high schools:
