Students train throughout the fall and compete in the winter in the disciplines of Alpine, Nordic, Freestyle, and Snowboarding. During the competition season, athletes are allowed flexibility to tailor their academic program to fit their competition schedule. Academic coursework is then made up during the intensive Intersession within the Lowell Whiteman School academic program in April. Teachers work personally with athletes to make training and academics a success.
“LWS is giving me the tools to prepare for college and beyond,” Maria Hillenbrand, Alpine racer, ‘11, said in a recent interview. “LWS is an amazing opportunity,- not just that it’s about your own commitment and dedication, but to know that we have the support behind us, too,” - Senior Francesca Pavillard-Cain, Telemark Extreme Skier, ‘09.
