The Winter Sports School in Park City

The Winter Sports School in Park City is a college preparatory public charter school, with students from 9th through 12th grades, located in Park City, Utah.

The Winter Sports School was founded in 1994 by a group of parents whose children were dedicated students and elite winter sports athletes. Because winter sports disciplines require considerable travel from venue to venue, and because the training and competition schedules during the winter – and during the heart of the traditional academic calendar in the United States – are so intense, the founding parents were determined to find an alternate way to allow the students to focus on their athletics during the winter season and on their academics during the remainder of the year. The school was developed around that concept, and its academic calendar therefore begins in mid-April and ends in mid-November.

The Winter Sports School's new campus is located next to the Matt Knoop Memorial Park in Park City, Utah. Their campus is also within an hour's drive of the 2002 Olympic venues in all other winter sports disciplines and a forty-minute drive from the Salt Lake International Airport.

The Winter Sports School’s academic program is centered on preparing its students for college. Over 90% of The Winter Sports School’s students go on to college after graduation – most attend NCAA member schools with a strong presence in winter sports. Students from the last several graduating classes have attended such institutions as Bates College, Colby College, Dartmouth College, Middlebury College, Stanford University, University of California at Berkeley, University of Utah, Westminster College, and Williams College.

The Winter Sports School is accredited by the Pacific Northwest Association of Independent Schools (PNAIS) and the Northwest Association of Accredited Schools (NAAS).
