"OMS has given me the opportunity to pursue both academics and athletics at an elite level. I have been able to take AP and honors level courses, and have received a quality, engaging education that has opened many doors in the process of college admissions and scholarship opportunities. All the while, being able to compete at a professional level in snowboarding. The skills I have gained from this experience are innumerable, reaching far beyond the classroom and athletic stage. However, more than I have become a student or athlete, OMS has taught me the importance of simply being a good person."

-- ANNA VALENTINE, CLASS OF 2018

"OMS will always hold a special place in my heart, for not only supporting me in my passion for ski racing, but also in becoming my second family. All of the people who worked at OMS did everything they could to accommodate my rigorous class schedule and racing calendar. The community that fills OMS everyday is something I don't think I could of found anywhere else. I started OMS as a shy 8th grader, barely able to hold conversation on the chairlift. But when I graduated five years later, I had confidence, ambition and life long friends."

-- KRISTINA BONNET, CLASS OF 2016

"I really like the opportunities that summer camps provide to work on the fundamentals and the small but important aspects of skiing, things that are hard to work on during mid-winter, the height of the competition season. It's also really fun to explore a new ski mountain, especially during the summer when we haven't been skiing in a couple of months. The activities that we did in the afternoon were great, things like mountain biking, hiking and whitewater rafting, and I loved doing these things around Oregon, where I had never been before."

-- CAROLINE DE BUY WENNIGER, 11TH GRADE

"I loved the Mt. Hood camp because it was very fun and I also improved my skiing a lot.  I learned how to pick and maintain a better line on the race course.  When we weren't skiing we had a lot of fun especially during the white water rafting trip."

"As an educator who has worked with youth for three decades in a number of different schools and programs, I have rarely encountered a group of students so highly motivated and engaged in learning as the student-athletes at Okemo Mountain School. OMS students work hard on the mountain and in the classroom. They are a joy to teach."

"I love working with our students because they are so happy, motivated and understand the value of hard work!"

-- STEVE SEVERSON, FACULTY, MATH

"I had just retired and received a call from OMS. I met with them and loved the concept, the staff and the schools' mission statement. I liked the idea of individual learning and working 5 months a year. I am going into my 3rd year and I love the school, students and staff. It is a supportive environment and the students are high energy and focused. The administration and coaches work together with the teaching staff to provide the best possible experience for students."
