Student-Athlete Support

The Peak School offers a range of support systems designed to cater to the specific needs of student athletes. One of the school's notable advantages is its close proximity to premier winter sports destinations like Breckenridge, Copper, Keystone, Arapahoe Basin, Loveland, Frisco Nordic Center, and Woodward at Copper. 

With an impressive student-teacher ratio of 6:1, student athletes benefit from individualized attention and personalized guidance. Situated in Colorado's Summit County, the school provides a college preparatory education within a flexible scheduling framework tailored to accommodate athletes. This flexible schedule structure is thoughtfully designed with student athletes in mind and to minimize disruptions to afternoon training sessions, allowing them to balance their academic and athletic pursuits effectively.

The incorporation of Google Classrooms further enhances the learning experience by enabling students to access course materials and homework remotely. Additionally, the teaching staff at Peak School possesses a deep understanding of the heightened demands associated with different tiers of ski racing, ensuring that athletes receive the necessary support and understanding throughout their academic journey.

Ways that Peak School can help support winter athletes:

  • 6:1 student teacher ratio

  • Deliver a college preparatory education in Summit County

  • Fixed schedule structure that allows for minimal impact on afternoon training

  • Narrative based grading structure (In-line with schools like Burke Academy)

  • Proximity to Breckenridge, Copper, Keystone, Arapahoe Basin, Loveland, Frisco Nordic Center, & Woodward at Copper

  • Dedicated to providing great communication between The Peak School and coaches

  • An academic program that allows the flexibility to personalize an educational experience, which allows students to take the level of class that is appropriate for them

  • Can potentially provide transportation once a critical mass of student athletes is reached

  • Have created a senior project curriculum which allows seniors to intern/create senior projects for the whole 3rd quarter of their senior year (No classes)

  • Use of Google classrooms that allow students to access course material and homework remotely

  • Teachers that understand the increased demands associated with the different tiers of ski racing

  • Peak is interested in pursuing a summer classes program to relieve pressures on skiers during the academic year

  • A healthy financial aid budget to help accommodate families that are a great fit for The Peak School

"Peak has supported me in a lot of ways so that I can commit to dance competitions and long dance classes and rehearsals in the evenings. I love that I don't have to stress so much about getting school done and I can balance my love for dance and my school education."
