My relationships with my teachers are absolutely amazing. All of our teachers are so supportive and willing to help us. We still have assignments and due dates, but we have flexibility. We are really fortunate to have the support of the faculty. Bennett ‘19
Sun Valley Community School was such an inclusive and amazing experience and I think the ski academy is similar in the sense that they cater to a wide variety of athletes. Depending on your goals, whether it’s USSA, NorAm or World Cup racing, the coaches and teachers help you find your fit and make it work. That was such a cool experience for me, and I’ve not heard of anything like it anywhere else. Sofi ‘12
