Ulysse Académie offers a multi-sport program for girls and boys with hockey as a major sport. Our philosophy is consistent with studies on the detrimental effects of over-specialization and the beneficial effects of developing a varied sports literacy in young people. At elementary level, our Ulysses students play hockey and are introduced to several other sports. Our high school student-athletes train and compete in hockey (RSEQ et CSSHL), lacrosse, rowing and mountain biking. Moreover, they do all this without missing school, while being subject to an academic success protocol and achieving numerous behavioral standards. Our post-secondary students focus primarily on hockey (CSSHL and other competitions) and the next steps in their development as students and athletes. Our goal is our graduates’ academic success and placement in higher-level programs. Ulysse Académie is a unique student-athlete program, a program for you!
SCHOOL FIRST ATTITUDE
At Ulysse Académie, the academic success rate of our student-athletes is 97%. Our elementary student-athletes attend their local school and our high school students attend the Odyssée High School in Terrebonne (Quebec). Post-secondary student-athletes are enrolled in our Grade 12 Pre-University program (which is offered directly at Complexe JC Perreault). At Ulysse Académie, there is almost never a shortage of academic opportunities allowing student-athletes to play hockey. Practices are after school and competitions take place on weekends. If you are looking for a REAL academic hockey program, you just found it!
A TRUE AAA PHILOSOPHY
What is the true definition of AAA? We’ve taken the acronym to another level: ATTITUDE, ACADEMICS and ATHLETICS. Years of experience have taught us that talent is nothing without an attitude forged in humility, resilience and determination. The reality of our times also means that education must be a priority, regardless of talent and aspirations. Several of our alumni represent this philosophy, and we are proud to have them.
