All of our students participate in our Winter Ski Program as part of our PE Program during the winter trimester. This program has been extremely popular and very successful at introducing students to skiing and snowboarding. It is also provides a unique opportunity for students and teachers to interact and share a common passion.
Lower School
Every Thursday for five consecutive weeks, the lower school heads up to Mt. Bachelor for some winter fun. The ski and snowboard lessons are full-day adventures for each child from Kindergarten through fifth grade. The students are divided by ability and age into groups and are assigned an instructor that will work with them throughout the five weeks. The day begins and ends at the Mt. Bachelor shuttle parking lot. The children learn to be responsible for their own equipment and lunches throughout the day. We have seen children take huge steps in their skiing and snowboarding. First timers are riding the lifts by the end of the session!
