A different kind of school day for serious student athletes.
Real academics. Structured support. Built for athletes.
Students at PHA complete the same accredited coursework as a traditional school through Commonwealth Charter Academy, taught by certified teachers.
The difference is support. Learning coaches work alongside students each day to help them organize workload, manage pacing, and stay accountable so academics never take a back seat to athletics.
Teachers provide instruction. Learning coaches provide daily structure and guidance.
Who Thrives at PHA
Students here are known, supported, and held accountable every day. PHA is designed for motivated student athletes who want structure during the day without sacrificing development on the ice.
Where Our Students Go Next
Over the past five years, PHA student athletes have advanced to NCAA programs, top prep schools, and junior hockey while developing the habits needed for long term success.
Over 40 student athletes have advanced to NCAA programs or top prep schools.
Experience PHA Firsthand
The best way to understand PHA is to experience a shadow day.
