In addition to playing on school sports teams, Community School students compete in a wide variety of individual athletic pursuits. Cutthroat athletes have achieved high-level success in hockey, figure skating, gymnastics, swimming, equestrian events, and more. In the Upper School, the term system, scheduling flexibility, and summer school options allow serious athletes to tailor their academic year to maximize in-season training time without sacrificing educational quality and progress.
As part of a mountain community, there are myriad opportunities for winter-sports athletes. Even Elementary School students can compete at high-levels in snowboarding and cross-country, freestyle, and alpine skiing, through our partnership with the Sun Valley Ski Education Foundation. Community School athletes ages 13-and-up who participate in USSA competitions are part of the Sun Valley Ski Academy, our new collaborative effort with the SVSEF.
For team sports not offered by Community School, students may play on teams sponsored by the Blaine County public schools.
