The Peak School is a college preparatory, non-profit institution in Frisco, Colorado. It is a progressive school committed to students who will be active and enthusiastic about participation during their experience. The academy focuses on personalized education so students can take charge of their learning. The Peak School works with Team Summit to offer an all-inclusive program for high-performing athletes.
Team Summit has its main facilities at the base of Copper Mountain, but the athletes on the team train all over Summit County and Colorado. The location provides a versatile opportunity for the student-athletes to experience different terrain. Also, Colorado has one of the longest ski seasons in the United States, which optimizes the athletes’ time on snow. The team has programs for all ages, from introductory levels to post-graduate.
Academically, the school structure is a fixed schedule that doesn’t interfere with afternoon training for student-athletes. They have a narrative-based grading structure where teachers give students feedback on their performance in class. The teachers utilize Google Classroom to allow students to access coursework and homework remotely, which is effective during competition season.
U.S. Ski and Snowboard recognizes Team Summit as a ‘Gold Certified Club.’ The Gold Club members are leaders in snow-sport education. The team provides age and ability-appropriate training sessions to advance disciplines and pursue podium achievements.
