Winter Sports School

AN ADMITTEDLY DIFFERENT EDUCATION

The Winter Sports School is a college preparatory academic institution for dedicated athletes, running a non-traditional calendar from April to November each year.   We focus on education so, unlike a more traditional ski academy, our students are free to choose the coaches and teams that fit best their needs, anywhere in the world.

Located amid Park City’s world-class Olympic venues with “the greatest snow on earth,” The Winter Sports School in Park City offers a truly exceptional education in an exceptional sport community. Our unique schedule provides the balance and support that allows dedicated student athletes to focus their attention on academics when they are in school and on their chosen sports when the season is underway.

The academic and athletic success of the Winter Sports School community over the past twenty years is remarkable. Our graduates have gone on to win Olympic, World Cup, National, Collegiate and junior titles in multiple sports. While these athletic results are impressive, we want it to be clear that our core purpose is to ensure that our graduates are prepared to succeed at the college or university of their choice. The feedback we receive from top institutions of higher learning in the country prove that we consistently deliver against that goal.

Our unique approach enables us to educate all students, practicing any winter sports discipline and some non-winter sports as well, as opposed to only a focused few. At the Winter Sports School, ski racers and snowboarders rub shoulders with freeskiers and sport climbers, figure skaters and speed skaters, luge and skeleton athletes, and others who often cannot attend institutions that combine academics with athletics.
