Custom Learning Academy

Our son just completed his Freshman year at Sugar Bowl Academy and we couldn't be happier with the experience. This was his first year living away from family in the dorms and it was a rewarding and successful first year. Our son loved all of his teachers and staff who were engaged on the highest level, encouraging during challenging times, and established a close relationship that enabled him to challenge himself in all subjects. His coaches were phenomenal and able to relate on a level that exceeded our expectations. He reached his personal goals and was able to attain crucial insight on skiing at the competitive level. This was a direct result of the dedication and expertise of his coaches and staff who always made themselves available for one on one attention when the situation required. The dedication and excellence that the staff at the Academy offered was more than we could've asked for. They were always approachable, encouraging, and reachable for any issue that came up. This included all of the day to day issues that we weren't present for; illness, emotional support, as well as the long list of everyday life issues which are unique to a teenager. The level of support reassured us that he was taken care of while on his own without us to guide him everyday. Right off the bat we knew that he was in good hands through the direct feedback we received from him and the Academy staff. It was evident in his ease in transitioning into dorm life and success in the rigors of the Academy. Every time we reached out to staff they responded promptly to any concern or request we had. The framework of the school is centered around respect and community. The students are encouraged to excel in all areas of development both academics and skiing. We loved the online platform to track and check in on his Academics and daily training. It was nice to be able to vicariously experience his day by being able to check in and see what he was doing throughout the day. We are confident that Sugar Bowl Academy was the best choice for our son to excel in college preparedness, Academics, and Skiing. We value the dedication of the entire Academy staff in preparing students for college and engaging them in the process early. The curriculum, preparedness, and community standards are vital components that are invaluable for success. We're looking forward to the next three years at the Academy and love the extended family established by being a member of the Sugar Bowl community.
