A Different Education Experience for Your Teen
Every student is capable of academic excellence if given the right mix of challenge and agency to suit their individual needs. We embrace hybrid courses that combine the latest self-paced, adaptive learning platforms and Socratic, discussion-style education.
We also create authentic, real-world learning experiences that allow students to see the value of their skills and knowledge in action. It all comes together in a program focused on six key courses developed by expert educators.
We believe that a healthy mind and body are equally important, which is why our rigorous ski program gets teens off the couch and into the great outdoors. This experience includes:
20 days of coached skiing with world-class, expert instructors
Lessons tailored to any level of proficiency, from beginner to competitive
10 days of uncoached free skiing
Mountain access through nearby Purgatory Resort, featuring world-renowned trails and some of the most consistent, abundant snow in southwest Colorado
Best of all, participants get a chance to explore and expand their physical and mental limits as they experience the deep fulfillment that comes from pursuing mastery of a single skill.
