Founded in 1920 by a small group of passionate, local skiers and incorporated in 1934, Mt. Mansfield Academy is one of the longest-running ski racing organizations in the United States. The academy is located in Stowe, Vermont and focuses solely on alpine skiing. They have 60-70 student-athletes, but ensure individualized attention and maintain tight teaching-coaching groups.
The academy has both a full-time program that covers the entire academic year and a Winter Term Program operating from November to April. These programs are for U14 and above. In addition, MMA runs a Junior Program (U8 – U12) on weekends. The academy also has a variety of training camps during the off-season to ensure year-round progress. MMA strives to create a team environment and winning culture that develops well-rounded citizens, athletes, scholars and leaders.
Academically, Mt. Mansfield is accredited by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges, which is a globally recognized standard for educational excellence. They have also implemented the College Board’s newest program, the Advanced Placement Capstone Diploma Program. This will focus on critical thinking skills and high-level original research.
The academy has curated a schedule for training that optimizes the athletes’ time on snow to gain “habitual development of physical literacy.” There is also a disciplined fitness plan for each age level and individual athlete to produce well-rounded ski racers.
