But the board said in a statement Friday “the National Sport School will continue to operate out of WinSport for the 2020-21 school year.“Programming for the next year will be adjusted based on the CBE’s fiscal reality and will reflect funding for a high school of a similar size.The Calgary Olympic Development Association – now WinSport – and the CBE jointly established the school in 1994 to help athletes both pursue sport at a world level and graduate from high school.
“In light of this announcement, WinSport will work with the CBE to secure the long-term future of the NSS at WinSport,” senior manager of communications Dale Oviatt told CP in an e-mail. The majority of NSS students are winter-sport athletes, so the school is a revolving door from November to March as they head off to competitions and training camps and return.
