CAMPUS LIFE
GREAT SKIERS WHO ARE GOOD PEOPLE.
At BMA, we build leaders through real responsibility. Whether managing daily campus duties or traveling internationally for training camps and races, Burkies embrace accountability both within our community and beyond it. This is how we develop not just exceptional athletes, but exceptional people.
DORM LIVING
Our boarding students live in one of five dormitories, typically sharing rooms with at least one roommate. Day students are equally vital to campus life, joining us for meals and contributing actively to our community. Spanning nearly 30 acres, our campus features five academic buildings, the Ronnie Berlack Center, a dining hall, and our ski storage and tuning facility - the Shelly Glover Tech Center. Our location provides direct access to both Burke Mountain Resort and the Kingdom Trails network
HARD WORK, COMMUNITY, and CORE VALUES.
Most people are capable of so much more than they think they are. When students choose to come to Burke Mountain Academy, they choose not to be most people. BMA's students and staff come from all over the world to train with and learn from the best. Very few experiences in life will show you what you're made of, like the BMA experience.
The BMA Handbook reflects the core values of the school, and it is a crucial part of understanding what it means to be part of our community. As such, every student at Burke Mountain Academy is required to read and abide by the information presented in it.
GUIDE TO PHILOSOPHY AND COMMUNITY VALUES
At BMA, each student on a Duty Team takes on job assignments across campus. Whether they’re emptying the trash, cleaning tables in the dining hall, or mopping floors, every task, however small, is essential to the community. Residential life encourages an environment where students work together and support each other academically and socially. The same spirit is evident in the Ronnie Berlack Center, where encouragement and teamwork are at the heart of the BMA experience.
BMA SPEAKER SERIES
At BMA, our Speaker Series caters to the unique interests and needs of our student-athletes. We welcome industry professionals, alums, and thought leaders in sports psychology, dietetics, and related fields to deliver engaging and relevant talks that benefit our entire school community and provide valuable insights for each student's journeys at BMA and beyond.

- Sexual Health and Healthy Relationships
