Carrabassett Valley Academy has long been recognized as the premier ski and snowboard academy. Given our history of producing world class student-athletes, our tuition remains competitive to boarding schools across the country.
Overview
CVA acknowledges cost is a factor for every family considering an independent education, and, thanks to the generous financial support of CVA donors, we are committed to providing financial support to qualified student applicants. Currently, over 55% of CVA families receive financial aid/scholarships.
All PG rates are determined on an individual basis depending on the length of term and athlete specific needs. Standard packages include all ski/snowboard training, breakfast & lunch, and may include academics, college counseling, SAT prep, room and board (space available).

Help is Available
CVA subscribes to School and Student Services (SSS), a service of the National Association of Independent Schools, to determine eligibility for Financial Aid through a standardized application and computation process. Based on the financial information provided by the family, SSS will provide CVA with a Tuition Contribution amount, which guides CVA in making financial aid decisions.
Any family interested in applying for financial aid or scholarships are asked to submit an application through SSS. Financial aid awards are determined based on need, whereas scholarships are awarded based on the individual student athlete's fit and potential to contribute above and beyond expectations in a meaningful and substantial way to the CVA community as a whole. In certain circumstances a student athlete may qualify for both financial aid and a scholarship.
