How will the transportation work?
All Sports Academy students are bussed to off-site facilities in Grande Prairie and then returned to the school. Parents are responsible for picking up their athletes after school.

How about tuition?
The Sports Academy is fully funded by participants. Tuition for all elementary students and 3 day option Junior high students is $1500 per year per student for a 10 month period. These fees cover staffing, transportation, programming, and facilities. The tuition for 2 day option junior high students is $1000.00.

How does the 2 day option for junior high students work?
Students in junior high may take a 2 days of sports academy a week with an opportunity to still take their option courses. The cost for this program is $100 per month and is only offered to grade 7/8 students.

Does my child have to attend St. Patrick's School?
All Sports Academy students must attend St. Patrick's School for the entire school year. This allows no conflicts with regards to bussing from other schools, cutting into instructional time.

Can my child still be in Band while participating in the Sports Academy?
Sports Academy students are unable to participate in Band for the school year, except for junior high students who take the 2 day option.
