Academics
Our Academic Programs
Carrabassett Valley Academy is dedicated to academic excellence through a rigorous college-preparatory curriculum that fosters critical thinking, confidence, and personal responsibility. While traveling for athletics, students develop academic independence, and on campus, they benefit from face-to-face instruction, immediate feedback, hands-on experiences, and collaborative discussions that enhance understanding. This approach builds essential skills like communication, self-advocacy, and problem-solving, ensuring students are well-prepared for college and life beyond.
MORE THAN A CLASSROOM
At Carrabassett Valley Academy, students develop a passion for learning, guided by faculty who teach not just content but how to think critically and explore new ideas. Even when student-athletes travel for competition, learning doesn't stop. Small class sizes, a dual curriculum that supports remote academic learning, summer class opportunities, and a close connection between faculty and coaches ensures students stay on track and succeed both academically and athletically.
State-of-the-art Academic Center
CVA's state-of-the-art Webber Academic Center provides a modern, comfortable space for academic learning and community engagement. The two-floor building features classrooms with the most up-to-date technologies including well-equipped science labs.
Early College Courses
CVA students can get a head start on college by earning credits while still in high school. Through the Early College program, select courses at CVA are approved as 100-level classes in the University of Maine system. These credits transfer to any University of Maine campus and are widely accepted at other colleges and universities. Students may also qualify for direct admission to University of Maine institutions. Early College gives CVA students an academic advantage while providing the support of the CVA community.
College Bound: Counseling for Every Student's Journey
CVA’s College Bound program provides a clear process that helps each graduate identify the next step best suited to their goals. Our counselors guide students and prepare them to move forward with confidence. College coaches also visit campus to discuss NCAA and USCSA opportunities, giving athletes a pathway to continue skiing or snowboarding in college. Whether students arrive with well-defined ambitions or are still exploring, the program offers guidance and support to identify priorities, strengthen applications, and take the next step in their academic journey.
