Courses and assignments are tailored to each student-athlete with their weekly sports and competition schedule in mind and prioritized in by the TPH academic team in partnership with the individual student-athlete.

Student-athletes are prepared to become independent, self-starting college freshmen through our mastery-based learning approach.
The TPH Academy Model is centered around a schedule that provides both consistency and culture. More importantly, it is constructed with an understanding of the value of proper rest, recovery, and nutrition. During Academy day hours, the focus remains on development, but after the day concludes, student-athletes have more time to focus their energy elsewhere, whether that be family, hobbies, work, or other life experiences.
Student-athletes will also benefit from TPH's enrichment programs, such as Coach F.A.’s Mentorship Program, Virtual Guest Speaker experiences, Athlete Performance Monitoring, and the TPH Performance Zone, which includes exclusive partners for nutrition programs, mental health coaching, SAT and ACT prep, and more.
This past year, TPH Academy Student-Athletes finished the year with 82% on the honor roll, an average GPA of 3.57, and over 33 AP Courses taken. In addition to academic achievements, 5 Student-Athletes were drafted to the NHL, 21 SAs committed to Division 1 Universities, 40 Advanced to Junior Hockey, 15 were Tendered or Drafted to the USHL, 32 Advanced to USAH Player Development Camps, and over 100 TPH Academy Student-Athletes Advanced from Tier I to Tier II programs.
Located in the heart of college hockey, Boston Hockey Academy has programs representing three major Division 1 conferences (Hockey East – BU, BC, Northeastern, U-Lowell, Merrimack; ECAC – Harvard University; Atlantic Hockey League – Bentley University) minutes from their campus, allowing them to maximize player exposure.
