Admissions
Welcome to CVA
Philosophy, Approach, Advantages
CVA is the leader in delivering programs that enable students from 7th grade to Post-Graduate to obtain a rigorous college preparatory education while pursuing athletic aspirations. It's more than a school; it's a way of life shaped by the ruggedness of the terrain and environment.
The experience here is not found elsewhere, it's an experience that creates growth, opportunity, and choices. It's a full-on academic, athletic, and community experience that is life-changing.
We are student centered. We tap into a student’s passion for skiing/snowboarding, love of the outdoors and willingness to work hard. We use that passion to help a student achieve his/her personal best with the goal of creating the strongest high school resume, so upon graduation, he/she has the most post-secondary academic and athletic choices.
Carrabassett Valley Academy's program is a time tested integration of academics, athletics, and community providing a framework for students to become confident, independent advocates for themselves.

Kirsten Clark '95 - 3-time Olympian
Being at CVA with a group of athletes with the goal of making the U.S. Ski Team pushed us all to work harder on the mountain and in the classroom. The small school setting was such a great environment for one-on-one interaction with coaches and teachers.
