Full Academy Program: Ski + Academics

Service Description

Program Dates: The program runs from December 1st through the end of March. Athletes also have the option to join our April training trips to Northern Vermont, which extend the season through mid-April for additional on-snow development. The Full Academy Program: Ski + Academics is Charlemont Mountain Academy's most comprehensive offering, designed for young athletes who want to excel on the mountain without compromising their education. This program combines elite-level ski training with a structured academic curriculum, giving student-athletes the balance they need to thrive both as competitors and as learners. Students train on snow daily with experienced coaches, focusing on technical skill development, race preparation, conditioning, and goal-setting. Off the hill, they engage in academics through CMA’s partnership with Apex Learning, supported by tutors and staff who ensure accountability and academic progress. The Full Academy experience provides: • Daily on-snow training at Berkshire East, with a focus on fundamentals, tactical development, and race readiness. • Customized academic support with a flexible online curriculum, tutoring, and study hall sessions built around training schedules. • Holistic development, with emphasis on nutrition, recovery, and mental well-being to prepare student-athletes for long-term success. • Team environment, where athletes grow together, building friendships, resilience, and a strong sense of community. By integrating high-level athletics with academics, this program ensures that students don’t have to choose between their passion for skiing and their pursuit of education - they can pursue both at the highest level.
