Academics at SAHA
Keep your future open
Hockey can take you in many directions. Your education gives you choices along the way. At SAHA, school is part of the reason you are here, and planning for it deserves the same attention as planning for the season.

The school pathway
Three conversations worth having early
School at SAHA is not an afterthought to the season. These are the three points where a family’s questions matter most.
01 · Placement
Start with your school pathway
SAHA students attend school within the Prairie Rose Public Schools community. Your grade and circumstances shape the arrangement, so speak with us about the placement for your student.
02 · In season
Stay engaged through the season
Travel, training and competition make organization important. Ask about the academic support available for your team and grade, how school progress is communicated and what is expected when players are away for games.
03 · Beyond
Look beyond graduation
The courses you take now can influence the options you have later. Bring your academic interests and postsecondary goals into the conversation early so your family can ask the right questions about course planning.

For parents
A big decision deserves a clear picture
Choosing an academy means looking beyond the jersey. Three things to ask about before you decide.
-
Where your child will attend school
Placement depends on grade and team. Contact SAHA with your child’s intended grade and team so we can confirm the appropriate school arrangement.
-
How progress is communicated
Ask how school progress is shared with families during the season, what academic support is in place for your team and grade, and who your education contact is.
-
What is expected on the road
Ask for the current team and school schedule, including travel arrangements and expectations for completing schoolwork when players are away for games. Billeting and Life at SAHA cover the rest of the week.
