There are three steps to the Academy registration process.
Complete a Parkland School Division Registration Form, select Connections for Learning as your school of choice, and Parkland Student Athlete Academy as your program of choice.
Please Note: Choosing the Parkland Student Athlete Academy on the PSD Registration Form indicates that the student wishes to apply for the program - it does not guarantee the student's acceptance into the program. Program acceptance may only occur after completing the remaining steps of the registration process.
After submitting a PSD Registration form, each applicant will receive an email with the Academy Application Survey. Complete the survey and select the sport(s) in which the student wishes to specialize. The student must provide a recent report card to ensure their ability to meet the academic requirements of the program.
Application surveys will be reviewed by community partners and Connections for Learning to confirm the student has met both the athletic and academic requirements for entrance into the program, and ensure that there is space available to accommodate their grade level and chosen sport(s).
Connections For Learning will contact each applicant to discuss their responsibilities in and readiness for the program, making sure that the program is a good fit for them. Assuming they have met all entrance requirements, students will then receive confirmation of their acceptance into the program.
