GrowTH ON THE GULF CoAST

We’re creating a place where student-athletes from around the world can train, study, live, and grow with intention — an environment shaped by focus, discipline, and a strong sense of community.

The next chapter of 212° Academy is taking shape in Punta Gorda, Florida, with a new campus on track to open in late 2026.

A newly renovated a student center.

A state-of-the-art basketball gym built for daily development.

Expanding housing that supports independence and accountability.

This is a long-term commitment to building a home for the kind of growth Two Twelve stands for — steady, structured, and built to last.

AT HOME IN PUNTA GORDA

Punta Gorda offers something rare: a calm, focused setting for daily work, with access to experiences that make time away from home feel welcoming. It’s a safe, coastal community where student-athletes can concentrate on development while families feel comfortable visiting and staying connected.

Take a look around:

  • Sunseeker Resort provides a nearby home base for visiting parents

  • Gulf beaches, including Siesta Key, often ranked the #1 beach in America

  • NBA, MLB, NHL, and NFL sports in nearby Miami and Tampa

  • Disney World and Universal Studios in Orlando

  • 150+ State Parks and 3 National Parks

 

AN INTERNATIONAL
COMMUNITY

While some of our student athletes’ families live in Florida, others are as far away as Brazil, Spain, China, and Japan. No matter where “home” is, Punta Gorda offers both opportunity and quality of life — a place that feels grounded, yet connected.

Life Beyond the Court

Development at 212° Academy doesn’t stop when practice ends. While our program details are evolving as we grow, our priorities are clear. Every element of daily life is aligned with the same goal: steady, sustainable growth.

  • Academic support is facilitated through trusted partners, including The Achievement Center in Sarasota. Structure, accountability, and consistent guidance help ensure athletes stay focused and college-ready.

  • Student-athletes live in supervised, structured environments designed to build independence and responsibility. Shared spaces become opportunities to practice respect, communication, and daily discipline.

  • Meals are prepared with care and attention to quality. Nutrition is treated as part of performance — and part of well-being — because how athletes fuel themselves matters just as much as how they train.

PARENTS ARE PARTNERS

At 212° Academy, parents are not kept at a distance. Families have direct access to a dedicated, non-coaching point of contact who supports communication, provides updates, and helps navigate questions or concerns.

Whether families live nearby or far away, this connection matters. It ensures that growth happens within an extended circle of support.
