The mission of Waterville Valley Academy is to provide an excellent education and superior snowsports training and conditioning for young alpine, freestyle and snowboard athletes in a safe mountain village environment. We strive to foster a safe and disciplined community in which each student athlete participates in his or her own education, achieves high academic goals, develops solid moral values and produces strong athletic results. We are preparing student athletes for the rigors of life with the knowledge, strength and determination to succeed.

WVA has adopted an instructional and training philosophy which focuses on the “whole” student athlete. This philosophy encompasses academics as well as athletics, conditioning, nutrition, life skills and independence. WVA offers each of its student athletes a robust curriculum of “lifelong lessons” in character building, self-discipline, leadership, commitment, confidence, independence, respect and integrity. Through this philosophy WVA inspires each student athlete to strive for excellence in all aspects of his or her life, differentiating each of them from the traditional student athlete. WVA encourages all parents to partake in this philosophy.
