Innumeris Education is proud to announce a new partnership with SPIRE Academy, one of the United States' leading institutions for sports-focused education. Earlier this month, Innumeris founder and chairperson Daniel Olaniyi travelled to the United States to visit SPIRE Academy in Geneva, Ohio, and formally confirm the collaboration. The visit provided an opportunity to experience first-hand the academic, athletic, and pastoral environment that has made SPIRE a destination for ambitious student-athletes from around the world.

SPIRE Academy is known for its world-class facilities, expert coaching staff, and commitment to supporting student-athletes in achieving their potential both academically and athletically. It has produced notable alumni including NBA star LaMelo Ball, and NCAA standouts such as Jalen Pickett and Isaiah Jackson, among others. Beyond basketball, SPIRE also offers elite programmes in sports such as track and field — where student-athletes are coached by Olympic champions like Tim Mack and Kerron Stewart — as well as soccer, swimming, esports, and more.

Through this partnership, Innumeris Education will provide Irish and European student-athletes with direct support and personalised guidance throughout the SPIRE admissions process — helping students find the right pathway to develop their talents and expand their academic and athletic opportunities.

Mike Dooley, Director of Admissions at SPIRE Academy, commented on the partnership:

"On behalf of SPIRE Academy, we are thrilled to partner with Daniel and his team at Innumeris Education. SPIRE, a world-renowned Sports Academy located in Geneva, Ohio, is the fastest growing boarding school in the country due to our commitment to the student-athlete experience. Our mission and vision aligns with Innumeris and their dedication to helping students succeed and get to their 'next step', just like we do here at SPIRE. When Daniel came to campus in April of this year, we knew Innumeris also stood for what we believe in: helping young people achieve their dreams. It is exciting to partner with like-minded people, but also, the work is now cut out for us! We are excited to continue to grow and develop our relationship with Innumeris and their network and community. Let's go!"

This partnership reflects a shared commitment between Innumeris and SPIRE to creating high-quality, meaningful opportunities for young athletes to succeed at the next level — whether that’s collegiate sport, professional athletics, or academic advancement.
