The National Ski Academy (NSA) is an independent boarding school with a mission to maximize individual potential through alpine ski racing excellence, academic achievement, and personal growth. Founded in 1986 by legendary coach Jurg Gfeller, who remains an integral part of our community, NSA is the Canadian destination for high-performance ski racing and academics.
Our home at 200 Oak Street in Collingwood, Ontario includes everything a student-athlete needs to thrive: Tornaveen, a 12,000-square-foot heritage mansion, houses our dormitory, gymnasium, weight room, ski tuning facilities, classrooms, study hall, and dining area led by a full-time chef.
NSA offers an ideal balance of elite training and exceptional academics. We are an Ontario Ministry-inspected private school providing university-level courses for Grades 9 through 12, and we specialize in "education that travels."
