About CMA
About Charlemont Mountain Academy
Charlemont Mountain Academy (CMA) is a Massachusetts-based non-profit junior sports academy dedicated to helping youth excel both on the slopes and in the classroom. Launching in Winter 2025, CMA’s flagship program - the Junior Ski Race Academy - serves U12 and U14 athletes from early December through spring break in a structured day-program format.
At CMA, we believe that athletic development and academic progress go hand in hand. The Academy delivers elite-level ski-race training—including rigorous on-snow sessions, physical conditioning, competition preparation, and holistic athlete development focused on sportsmanship, nutrition, and mental resilience - while maintaining a strong academic foundation for every student-athlete.
Our academic program, powered by Apex Learning, blends online coursework with on-site study support to meet each athlete’s unique needs. The curriculum aligns with the Massachusetts Core Curriculum Standards and with each athlete’s home-district program, allowing students to stay on track academically. Families can choose a flexible pathway: students start the school year at their home school, transition to CMA’s hybrid academic model during the winter season, and return to their home school after spring break—ensuring seamless educational continuity. Regular communication among CMA staff, Apex coordinators, and home-school educators keeps every athlete accountable and successful in both academics and sport.
