Winter-Term Academy

Our Winter Term Program has been in operation since 1993, delivering on our mission of producing well rounded student-athletes. Winter Term students live at home and attend their “regular” school until mid-November. Then they join us, ski and go to school in Stowe all winter, and return to their home school at the ski season’s conclusion in early April. Because Winter Term students come from different schools and are enrolled in different courses, all our Winter Term classes are taught in a one-on-one setting. While here, students stay current with their classes so that they have a seamless return home in April. When our students graduate from high school they have the same diploma and transcript as their classmates at home, but a world of experience that their peers do not.

 

Unlike other ski academies that offer no advanced classes or limited electives, our Winter Term academic program is individually tailored to each student’s home-school curriculum. We offer virtually every high school course imaginable! In recent years we’ve taught nearly a dozen AP courses, all levels of electives in the arts and sciences, and French, Spanish, Latin, Italian, and Chinese languages. Our format also allows kids to remain active in other endeavors that their home school can provide (musical groups, theater, other sports), and avoid the limitations of attending a ski academy in the off-season. We have worked with over 50 schools, both public and private across the Eastern US and Canada. We enjoy a positive reputation and make it our business to accommodate our students and their home school’s academic program. We welcome feedback, modifying aspects of our program to satisfy the concerns and needs of each sending-school teacher.
