Academy

Yes. We partner with Pro-Merita (through NIDES, SD71) to deliver BC-recognized academics. Students receive official report cards and transcripts, just like in public school. With smaller class sizes and a dedicated Academic Director, your child won’t slip through the cracks.

Our coaches and Pro Merita teachers are selected based on their qualifications and experience in working with a diverse range of students. They undergo continuous professional development and training to stay current with best practices in education and sports coaching. Our staff are committed to creating an inclusive environment that respects and supports all students, regardless of their background or individual needs.

We are proactive in staying ahead of emerging standards and practices in sports and education by engaging with industry leaders, attending professional development seminars, and continuously updating our programs. Our partnership with Pro Merita ensures that we are aligned with the latest educational strategies, while our adherence to Hockey Canada’s standards keeps our training methods current and effective. This commitment allows us to provide the best possible environment for our student-athletes to succeed.

We build flexibility into the schedule. Missed days can be made up, and students remain on track through supported online learning and teacher guidance.

All transportation between our classroom, on-ice, and dryland sessions is supervised and included in the program. Parents only handle drop-off and pick-up at the start and end of the day.

Our staff follow clear injury protocols and emergency action plans. All staff undergo background checks, and at least one is first-aid certified on-site at all times. If an injury prevents training, students still fully participate in academics.

Yes. Because we are BC Ministry–recognized, all credits and transcripts transfer back into public schools seamlessly.

We don’t offer trials (due to class sizes and registration caps), but we do allow flexible payment plans to ease the transition. Families should speak with our Academy Director about bursary or financing options.

Students bring their own lunches/snacks. We maintain strict allergy protocols, and meals are eaten in supervised spaces. We are a nut-free classroom 

Each day includes approx. 3.5 hours of classroom academics, 1 hour on-ice, 1 hour dryland, and supervised breaks/lunch. The day is designed to maximize both academic focus and hockey performance.

Our program focuses on the holistic development of each student-athlete, emphasizing personal growth, discipline, and teamwork. Beyond the rigorous academic and athletic training, we provide mentorship from experienced coaches and educators. This approach helps develop well-rounded individuals who are prepared for success both on and off the ice, fostering skills that will benefit them throughout their lives.

We recognize the unique challenges faced by student-athletes and strive to create a supportive environment that minimizes stress and pressure. Our small class sizes, personalized education plans, and dedicated coaching staff provide the necessary support to help students manage their time effectively and balance their commitments. Additionally, we offer regular communication between teachers, coaches, and parents to ensure that any issues are promptly addressed.

At Atomic Hockey Academy, we believe that discussions and education about Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity (SOGI) are best handled within the family home. This aligns with our conservative values and those of our educational partner, Pro Merita.

Our focus remains on providing a high-quality academic and athletic experience, while respecting the diverse values and beliefs of the families we serve.
