Application Form

Housing

Students will be housed in local apartment or duplex type housing in close proximity to the academy site. Students will be housed in small units with other students. A pre-housing form will be sent to students prior to arrival so that we can best match up preferences for rooming with other people. Students will live within a 5 mile (at the most) radius of the academy - public transportation or a bike (which is by far the most common means of transportation) can be used by students. Please note that the European public transport system is excellent compared to North America and is easy to use.

All housing is inspected by the student services prior to students arrival and students will be given a list of possible housing in order to choose from.

All meals will be served at the academy dinning facility. The meal plan will include two square meals per day at lunch and dinner as part of the annual fees. The club has two qualified chefs that will prepare all meals - as part of the academy's program, diet and nutrition will be carefully monitored by the chefs in order for athletes to be in top physical shape.
