What Our Academy Families Are Saying
Frequently Asked Questions
While we are one team, Boston Hockey Academy is not a sports team. We are an academy where you can focus on your individual skills while still playing for your current team. This makes for an amazing training environment where our student-athletes build a community with other, like-minded student-athletes.
At Boston Hockey Academy Powered by TPH, each student-athlete learns from certified teachers through our customizable virtual platforms, with 24/7 access to virtual tutors. Our on-site Director of Academics and Success Coach(es) are additional resources who cultivate an environment conducive to learning. These multiple layers of support ensure that your student-athlete receives a personalized academic plan, preparing them for the game of life.
Our student-athletes train four days a week in the gym on-site with our coaches.
DID YOU KNOW: student-athletes can receive physical education credit for the training.
Although they are certainly welcome to, we do offer a meal plan offering healthy and delicious options at an affordable price.
This is one of the primary benefits of attending TPH Academy. Traditional systems are not conducive to the lifestyle of an aspiring, elite student-athlete. We understand the travel that sports require and the toll a season can take on a student-athlete. The beauty of our platform is the flexibility we can provide by operating virtually. Need a recovery day? Stay home! You can do your coursework from home, and our staff can send you a home workout. We believe our student-athletes get the most out of their experience by attending on-site, but we understand that may not always be possible. That shouldn’t mean school is interrupted; it is simply adapted to meet a student-athlete’s needs.
The goal of our mentorship program is to educate our student-athletes in “the process” of becoming elite. This program is centered around Coach FA's Mentorship Program, and also includes community service, field trips, and guest speakers.
Boston Hockey Academy Powered by TPH is constantly assessing its students' needs and customizing their workload to best support their path to success. We require our student-athletes to fill out daily surveys that help our staff understand the holistic state of our student-athletes. These surveys track sleep, nutrition, injuries, and so on to assist us in accurately and effectively balancing their workload.
TPH Academy can provide support for IEP's and 504's. We have built our centers with learning environments that help all types of learners and set up our student-athletes for success. However, students will have to complete a determination meeting with our education partner to ensure we can meet all the needs of the student.
