In the 2012-2013 school year, Telluride Mountain School has added new programmatic elements to its high school curriculum geared specifically toward the student-athlete. Skiers and riders are empowered to pursue athletic excellence while maintaining a challenging academic program that promotes critical thinking, aesthetic expression, and ethical behavior. Student-Athletes are valued at Telluride Mountain School. Beginning this winter, Telluride Mountain School is partnering with the Telluride Ski and Snowboard Club to offer student-athletes the combination of a rigorous academic program with the intensive on-snow training that has traditionally been a path to U.S. Ski Team and NCAA glory. Small class size and low student-teacher ratios allow for maximum flexibility in scheduling classes, assignments, assessments, papers, projects and more. Telluride Mountain School accommodates studentathletes by creating individualized academic plans during the winter season that allow for training, competition, and travel while they prepare for college through compelling academic classes. The Mountain School uses technology that allows for productive interaction while students are on the road. Teachers provide pre- and post-trip counseling and personal attention for academic success. Student-athletes needing to fulfill additional graduation requirements have one-on-one, guided on-line or blended learning, and summer options available as needed. Academic and athletic excellence are equally promoted through creative scheduling and programming. Telluride Mountain School allows student-athletes to compete at the highest levels without missing out on exceptional academic experience.
