Since 1982 Rowmark Ski Academy has offered an unparalleled year-round ski racing program
coupled with a world-class college preparatory education. Over the years, Rowmark Ski Academy
has trained many accomplished and decorated U.S. Ski Team, World Cup, NCAA division 1 skiers,
and 11 Olympians. More importantly, our graduates thrive at a wide range of pursuits and careers.
We made the decision about four years ago to let our son continue to pursue his interest in
alpine skiing. It had to be a ski program that was producing world-class athletes;
skiers that were going on to the U.S. Ski Team, skiers that would go on to NCAA schools. And the
other was it had to be somehow co-affiliated or co-located with an academic environment
that we thought was good. Within a day, we knew this was the program we were looking
for. Our goal is simple; what we want to do is help our elite student-athletes be successful
both on the slopes and in the classroom. We do this through our Rowmark academic coordinator
and our wonderful teachers who truly care about having the Rowmarkers learn the material they miss
while they're away at their ski competitions. Our 35 skier limit ensures a high level of attention
from six full-time coaches who bring a remarkable wealth of experience and expertise to their
athletes. The thing I love most about Rowmark is kind of like the family community; you really get
a lot of supportive people that are like pushing you to do your best in every way. Rowmark has
really helped our son balance his academics with his sporting activities. I think Rowmark really
pushes kids to sort of find how to manage their time early on. I think that's a skill that's
applicable to everything in life, really. Rowmark is proud to be designated a gold-certified club
by USSA. This designation came in 2014 after a thorough accreditation process, but what we are
most honored by is when our alumni say that what they gained here was so much more than skiing.
As any parent of an athlete knows, your son or daughter is an injury, a hiccup,
an interest level, or a growth spurt away from no longer being competitive,
and when you have that profile, you better make sure you've got a backup plan.
And Rowmark/Rowland Hall was the only environment we found that gave us that true backup plan:
world-class athletics, uncompromising academics. If you care about academics and athletics, there
is only one academy in the country that really makes the cut, and that was Rowmark/Rowland Hall.
