A Snapshot...

All students of LSA will be provided a personalized flexible learning environment that offers the opportunity to improve ski skills for both competitive and noncompetitive athletes while leveraging the learning opportunities available in the Castle Corridor.

The Academy is open to students from Grades 4-12. International students, LRSD students, and students from outside our division are welcome!   Our on-snow program runs from December - April.  

Students in the elementary program (gr.4-6) ski Tues afternoons and ALL day Fridays.

High school students (gr.7-12) ski Mon/Wed afternoons, and ALL day Fridays.  

More than just an on-snow program...

LSA is about much more than just our on snow training program!  Embedded into our programming in the fall and spring are more outdoor learning opportunities such as kayaking and canoeing, hiking and a variety of outdoor educational opportunities, and CTS credits.  

Instruction

LSA offers a variety of instruction geared towards big mountain skill progression and freestyle .  Our coaches oversee the progress of each student, matching ability with instruction.  The program is available for both recreational and competitive athletes.  Students may move between the two based on progress.

LSA provides students with on-hill training 2-3 days a week. All training is during instructional hours, allowing athletes to return to their competition programs on the weekend.

LSA uses only approved coaches in collaboration with the Castle Mountain Snow School.  We work collaboratively with both the Westcastle Race Club and Castle Mountain Freestyle, along with other community partners.

The full experience in Livingstone...

In addition to our excellent programming, students have the opportunity to connect socially, with diverse cultures, in a small school setting!  

International students come from all over including Spain, Germany, Turkey, Kazakhstan, New Zealand, and many more!  Our coaches come from all over North America and Europe, and are so excited to be a part of a season long ski/snowboard program.  

Lasting bonds are formed both on the chairlift at Castle Mountain Resort and over the campfire cooking during our shoulder seasons. 

We are truly grateful to have this worldly experience in our program!
