The House Parent works with both the Director and the students.   Each year a student applies for the “Resident Assistant, RA” position.  This student acts as a House Proctor, and cooperates with the house parent to set and maintain the guidelines of the Academy home.  Study time is scheduled from 7:30 P.M. to 9:30 on Sunday through Thursday evenings. Students are expected to use this time quietly and constructively (without the usual aids of drum sets, stereo’s, and televisions). Lights are out at 11:00 p.m.

 

Monday mornings begin with MSA’s “Monday Meeting”—a short, informal

gathering attended by the entire student body and faculty,  Here student-athletes share congratulations on the weekend’s competitions, as well as review upcoming events and new ideas. Monday is “coach’s day off,” and classes continue for the entire day with a  great emphasis on lab experience. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, classes are held from 8:00 AM until 12:15 PM with training in the afternoon.  On Wednesday, MSA athletes train in the morning and classes are held in the afternoon followed by yoga.  Friday is a full day of training and Saturdays and Sundays student-athletes train or compete.  Teachers and coaches work together to coordinate each student’s needs when competition warrants a change in routine. 

 

Everything the MSA students needs is within walking distance from the

Academy House. Transportation to competitions is provided by the Academy vans. Occasional jaunts to Wilmington or West Dover are, with permission, accessible via Deerfield Valley’s free public transportation system.

 

Our emphasis is a comprehensive lifestyle conducive to personal,

intellectual, and athletic growth. For this reason, the use of any tobacco,

alcohol, or drugs other than prescription drugs, is forbidden. any place,  If you are up to the challenge of counting yourself among serious student/athletes who love what they do—MSA could be your home too.

The Mount Snow Academy House is located on Snow Vidda Road, one half mile from the Training Center and the base of Mount Snow.  Significantly, the House is not a dorm, and so is conducive to the atmosphere one might find in a home.  Students live with each other : the respect, privacy, and trust one would accord a family member is what Mount Snow Academy expects, and what the Academy House engenders.
