SVSA College Matriculation

Sun Valley Community School prides ourselves in our successful college placement program which focuses on our student-athletes’ collegiate educational and athletic aspirations. We have a long history of placing our skiers and snowboarders at their best fit colleges or universities around the world. Whether interested in attending big research universities or small liberal arts colleges, our two full-time college counselors and SVSA program director strive to help find the best fit for each individual graduate. 

Our two full-time dedicated college counselors work together with each student-athlete and their family to help guide them through their college application and exam process, and help ensure that our course selection is NCAA approved. 

While we are incredibly proud of our student-athletes who go on to compete at the NCAA level, we are equally proud of our student-athletes who compete at the USCSA level, or step away from competitive skiing to focus on their collegiate lives. With a 100% college acceptance rate, and 80% of our student-athletes attending their first choice college or university, Sun Valley Community School consistently proves that well regarded by colleges around the world.

*Since 2011

What stood out to me most was the personal connection in the college counseling process. It really made me feel seen and supported as an alpine skier.
