CURRICULUM
Students enrolled in the Canadian Sport School will receive all of the credits necessary to fulfil the academic requirements of the BC Graduation Program as well as any post-secondary prerequisites required to meet the students' academic goals.
The Sport School's on-site teaching staff provides academic support to students and liaises with the athletes' home schools to assist with homework, rescheduling exams and assignments so as not to interfere with the athletes' competition schedules. In addition to courses offered through the students' home school, the Canadian Sport School offers "for credit" courses including supported on-line courses delivered by Ministry of Education approved distributed learning organizations; Sport Studies and Sport Performance elective courses; and individualized multi-sport training courses delivered by high performance sport experts.
The Canadian Sport School provides academic credit for training and competition activities that students are already doing for their sport, reducing the athletes' workload and providing more time for training, competition and recovery.
Grade 12 students may also take dual-credit courses through Camosun College's Centre for Sport and Exercise Education (Victoria campus) or UBC Okanagan's School of Health and Exercise Science (Kelowna campus). Offered at no cost these courses provide students with high school graduation credits and first-year college or university course credits.
The Canadian Sport School curriculum is delivered in partnership with School District 62's Juan de Fuca Distributed Learning Program (JFDL) in Victoria and School District 23 (Central Okanagan) in Kelowna.

Participation in the Canadian Sport School provides students with a practical understanding of a high-performance lifestyle by improving their athleticism, physical literacy and fitness through a multi-sport training program while completing the outcomes of PE 10/11/12 curricula.
This program is the IGNITE Athlete Development Program and participation is under the direction of CSC Pacific's strength and conditioning professionals. As students move through Grades 10, 11 and 12, they will improve both foundational movement skills and overall athleticism through training sessions focusing on three movement streams: sprint training, gymnastics, and strength and conditioning.
Upon completion of the program, students will also receive four credits of Athlete Training 10/11/12, a course specifically aligned with IGNITE's outcomes.
