“Soccer players do not have to compromise their education in order to pursue their passion for soccer anymore. Participating in ICEF’s 10-month Pro Residency program in France is the most effective way to maximize their chances of standing out as a top soccer recruit. There is no preparation that equates to the excellence of a European training and competition program. Students in the U.S. are starting to discover the benefits of preparing and competing in Europe, seeing a positive impact in their recruitment process, as coaches realize the elite preparation and competitiveness they bring to their teams.”
Preparing for the rigor of collegiate academics with University of Texas High-School.
ICEF is committed to providing the most comprehensive and individualized accredited academic education, offering courses in English, in an ideal setting for academic and personal development with small class sizes, adapted schedules, tutoring programs, and college advisors.

UT High School delivers an NCAA-approved academic program, offering flexibility to student-athletes from 8th grade to 12th grade to earn their diploma in a way that meets their athletic needs with more than 60 online courses and credit by exams.
Connecting with college recruiters.
Training with best-in-class UEFA certified coaches and competing in the French Federation of Football’s official competitions enable players to build an outstanding soccer resume through unique and elite soccer experiences and competitions. At ICEF, student-athletes are also able to create professional highlight videos to connect with college soccer coaches, multiplying their chances of getting recruited to a top collegiate soccer program.
Enriching cultural experience.
Living in a foreign country opens students’ minds to new perspectives and lifestyles in a unique way. Their values mature and they become more well-rounded and better global citizens, which is highly appreciated by college coaches and a crucial part of living in today’s global society.
