Our STORY

Cooper International Academy is a premier college preparatory program designed to guide student-athletes through the critical transition from secondary education to higher education. Our mission is to deliver a comprehensive curriculum that balances academic achievement, athletic excellence, and personal growth, ensuring that each student is fully prepared to succeed at the next level and in life.
 

Located in Ontario, California, within the Inland Empire region just east of Los Angeles, Cooper Academy benefits from its proximity to some of the nation’s leading universities and colleges, including the University of California Riverside, Cal Poly Pomona, Cal State San Bernardino, and Mt. San Antonio College. The location also provides convenient access to Los Angeles-Ontario International Airport, making our campus accessible to both domestic and international students.
 

The academy was founded by Head Coach Eric Cooper, a long-time resident of the Inland Empire with deep ties to the community. His vision for Cooper International Academy is to create a cornerstone institution that mentors student-athletes from their early school years through prep school and ultimately into the university system.

Through rigorous academics, elite-level athletics, and a supportive environment, Cooper International Academy is committed to helping student-athletes not only reach the next level but thrive when they get there.
