Flexible scheduling allows for a consistent training regimen.

Most students in our academies enroll in 4 on-site academic courses and 2-3 independent study courses through a number of providers both online (self-pay) and in-district (subject to availability). The timing of your training periods depends on your individual need and our course availability. Our school counselors and IS coordinator helps craft a schedule that will meet your needs.

Full Independent Study support while travelling for competitions

For winter athletes, competitions typically mean travelling to various races for several days to 2 weeks at a time. During these periods - you are able to take your classes on the road with you. Teachers make work and assignments available to you while being accessible via email or phone to answer questions.

Most teachers also have actual lessons accessible via the internet and other support tools that students can access 24/7.

Please note that NTHS's Ski Academy program is not a distance learning program. Students must attend school regularly in Tahoe City, CA, but are able to request periodic or re-occurring independent study contracts.

Dedicated Independent Study Coordinator focusing on your success

We have an Independent Study Coordinator that focuses on our Ski/IS Academies to support with both the off campus courses you take throughout the year and while you are travelling on full independent study.

Rest assured that families are not left to stumble their way through their high school education and after high school planning process. NTHS has two full-time school counselors who helps students develop academically, socially, and with post-secondary planning.
