DEVELOPMENT FOR SPORT. SKILLS FOR LIFE.
At Everest Academy we are cultivating a Long Term Athlete Development model that meets each student where they’re at, optimizes for longevity in sport, and honours the developmental process. It’s a comprehensive, age-specific, fluid model of development that is grounded in evidence and driven through the passion, expertise, and intentional programming of our coaches.
individual customization
One of the Everest Academy strengths is how well our former students and their parents tell us they were prepared for their next steps. Of the graduating class each year, about 96% choose to apply for University, while the other 4% typically pursue Hockey in the OHL or other athletic opportunities. For the 96% who apply to University, 100% are accepted and attend top universities in Canada and the United States.
Led by our team of specialists, S&C SAP programming is designed to suit the age and stage of our student athletes and takes into consideration all aspects of athletic development and sport functionality. Our programming incorporates evidence-informed training principles, focuses on sport relevant loading, and empowers student athletes to own their strengths and limitations, advocate for their individual needs, and cultivate self-agency in sport and life.
Everest Academy students have access to Edsby, a web-based learning platform to enhance and supplement in-class learning. It is a platform dedicated to the needs of Everest Academy. Students (and parents) can easily keep abreast of class deadlines, school events, tests, assignments and other important learning information using this platform. Students who are heavily involved in competitive skills outside of the classroom can stay current through the online platform. Learn more about Online Learning at Everest Academy.
a close knit community
At Everest, with our small school approach, intimate classroom size, and caring attitudes from faculty and staff, there is a strong sense of community within the school. Coaches, teachers, and instructors work with the students in different ways on a daily basis, leading to strong relationships and a school culture that ensures each student is known and cared for at Everest.
Everest has already established a strong group of alumni who have attended top universities and still maintain a close relationship with the school. We currently have 7 former students who were NHL draft picks, 80 OHL draft picks, and 80+ NCAA scholarships. Everest graduates constantly tell us how Everest not only helped them to get into top universities, but prepared them to excel both in and out of the classroom. Learn more about our alumni and where Everest former students have matriculated.
student leadership
At Everest, opportunities abound for our students to develop as motivated and thoughtful global citizens. The renowned Duke of Edinburgh program and Everest service days are just two examples of opportunities for students to develop their leadership skills. Our intimate community ensures that our teachers and coaches are constantly mentoring the students to support their leadership development.
