Flexible Timetable – 3 Options

  • HPA students can pick ONE of the three schedule options above to balance both their academic and athletic commitments.
  • If a student chooses Options A or B, they must be training with a certified coach during the “training periods (away from school)“.
  • Students who choose Option C are in school all day and can benefit from the other program features.

NOTE:

Our HP athletes receive special academic accommodations while they are away for tournaments and competition regardless of which schedule option they choose.
