Program Info

The Edge Flex Academy is best suited to student-athletes in Grades 7-12 who are highly motivated, passionate about their sport, and require a more flexible academic environment that can accommodate their training and competitive schedule. Edge Flex offers all the benefits of the Edge programs for Dance, Hockey, Soccer and Golf, allowing students in other sports to receive the same Edge experience. These students belong to a school community environment that enables and supports them to excel in the classroom, character building and to pursue their athletic dreams.

Our Flex Academic Coordinators work with each student individually to achieve dynamic balance of his or her studies, training and competition time when at home and on the road. Flex student-athletes include equestrian riders, swimmers, tennis players, gymnasts, skiers, volleyball players and lugers among others. They often represent their region on the local, provincial, national and international stage. We understand how to help student-athletes manage when these events take them away from the academic setting for periods of time. Being fully integrated in the Edge school community ensures students can focus on their sport while away, knowing that other aspects of their school life are well managed.

Edge Mountaineers are passionate about success. Our school community celebrates everyone's personal achievements, big or small.
