Our Offering

 Mens sana in corpore sano -- "A sound mind in a sound body" -- Juvenal

It is with great pleasure that we welcome you and your family to a unique opportunity presented by The Philadelphia Hockey Academy, in partnership with Commonwealth Charter Academy (CCA) and Ice Line Quad Rinks.  We believe our mission as parents is to develop well-rounded, confident children who will contribute positively as adults by acquiring skills that will enable them to adapt to an ever more rapidly changing world. 

We combine academic, athletic and leadership development in a dynamic environment that will provide your student-athlete with the opportunities and confidence to achieve to the best of their abilities, as students, athletes and leaders.

We believe our offering is a best of breed, hybrid solution, that is becoming more necessary for student-athletes, as the traditional brick and mortar schools struggle to keep up with the demands of the times.  Children today are forced to spend half their waking hours in an environment that doesn’t do enough to stimulate the whole individual, while robbing them of the most precious commodity of all, time.

We have all seen how much technology has changed the world, yet the traditional model for school continues to be stuck in time, operating like it pretty much has for the past 100 years, with very little technology having been introduced to leverage the benefits it can provide in order to make the children’s lives more productive and manageable.

The need to sit in a classroom with 20-30 other students for 7 hours a day is no longer necessary and to be honest, completely inefficient.  This time, can and should be much better spent in pursuit of more individual interests, whether it’s sports, music, art, business, etc.. 

When we first started thinking about this opportunity, we discussed the concern some might have over missing out on the social aspect the traditional model provides.  We thought about this like any parent would and came to the conclusion that this is NOT homeschooling. Our children will be together at the rink all day, as part of a group that has constant interaction both on the ice and in the classroom. The CCA teachers will have daily interaction with each child, and the on-site learning coaches will also add to this environment by ensuring the children are focused when they need to be focused.

Being made up of a large majority of hockey families and understanding how the hockey team becomes a family in itself, our children are already able to navigate at a high level, socially, and this won’t change.  Moreover, your children will still be as involved with their “school friends” as they want to be, by being able to participate in their local district school activities, such as the proms, sports, stage crew, clubs, etc.

Our academic partnership with Commonwealth Charter Academy (CCA) will allow us to combine a best-in-class, flexible education with best-in-class athletic and leadership training at one of the premiere facilities on the east coast, in Ice Line. 

Your child’s experience in our program will help prepare them for the many demands they will encounter when they move on to the next level, whether that is in pursuit of a PhD, playing hockey for an NCAA varsity program, or choosing their own vocation.  Our model will help your children master the skill of time management, enabling them to have more time to pursue their interests, which will help them as they move on to the next stage in their lives.

We look forward to working with your student-athlete as they continue to grow into successful young men and women. The middle school and  high school years are full of excitement, opportunities and challenges. Our unique model will allow your children to grow as students, athletes and leaders, while they pursue their passion
