   well i’m not sure exactly what you’re looking for. you could describe more what you want. one place i can refer you to right now is in leysin, switzerland. they speak french but the school is an international boarding school and make english their primary focus. if you’re staying in the winter they have ski days.

   the school is called leysin american school, google it

   I don’t know if they have skiing incorporated into their curriculum or not, but these schools (in the U.S.) are within a short drive of great skiing, so you could split your day up depending on your course load

   U of Utah in SLC - so many epic mountains
   U of Nevada, Reno - 45 minutes to Tahoe
   U of Colorado, Boulder - again,a short drive to many great mountains
   Western Washington Univ - Bellingham, Wa. Mt Baker.
   U of Vermont
   U of Washington
   Montana State U.

   I would first like to clarify that I go to Summit High School and live in Frisco, CO and we do not get Fridays off to go skiing. We actually go to school like everyone else, we are not just ski bums.
   There is a community college here in Colorado that has many locations and they are all in mountain areas. It is Colorado Mountain College and it is in places like Leadville, Steamboat, Breckenridge, and Aspen.

   from the website:
   1972 is the year that a novel idea became a unique school. Stratton Mountain School was founded by Warren Hellman and Donald Tarinelli so that their own children and a handful of others could train and compete in high level alpine skiing without interrupting their high school education. Top coaches and excellent teachers were recruited to join in the new program, with parents providing the housing. As the idea caught on with more families, SMS purchased and occupied an old ski lodge, where the school grew in numbers of students, programs and reputation. In 1999, the school moved to its present location, a newly constructed campus on ten beautiful acres at the base of Stratton Mountain. With the completion in 2005 of new faculty housing, additional dorm space and the new state-of-the-art athletic facility, SMS compares to New England’s finest independent schools, providing learning, living and training opportunities second to none. From the beginning, SMS graduates have attended the country’s finest colleges. Many join NCAA teams at Dartmouth, Middlebury, Williams, Colby, Boston College, Bates, Bowdoin, UVM and UC Boulder, to name some of these top programs. Over 100 of our alumni have been named to U.S. National Teams and 28 have participated in Winter Olympics plus 2 in Summer Olympic Games. They include two Gold Medal winners, a Silver Medalist, a Bronze Medalist and several top ten placements. We are proud of them all. From that first handful of young student athletes, dedicated coaches and teachers, SMS is
