Sports Academies are programs of choice that involve significant program fees. As such, it is important that parents are aware of how funds are being allocated. Sport academy fees are spent on student programming and include costs such as basic apparel packages, professional coaches and instructors, transportation, venue and tournament fees. For your information, Academy Fees do not include the cost for instruction by certified teachers or instructor apparel. Those costs, as well as additional costs for advertising, are covered by the school.
Academy Fees do not include basic school fees. Basic school fees are charged separately and are in addition to Sports Academy Fees.
If we do not spend all of the funds collected through Sports Academy fees, then the remaining dollars are credited toward the following year fees, or reimbursed.
Upon acceptance into our Recreation Academy, a non-refundable deposit for the months of May and June is required.
At registration in August, parents may choose to pay fees in full or to pay fees on a monthly basis. For your convenience, fees may be paid online through PowerSchool. Please contact our school office 780-466-1281 for more information about fee payments.
