Athletics

Lake Tahoe Preparatory School offers an athletic experience unlike any other boarding school. With Lake Tahoe and the Sierra Nevada in our backyard, we have the opportunity to harness all the resources at our fingertips to ensure an exciting and exhilarating athletic experience.

Since our founding, LTP has recognized the role of athletics and physical fitness and its reward in mental health and student academic performance. Our athletics philosophy is for students to develop self-esteem and self-discipline through the strengthening of the body and mind. Every student is invited and encouraged to engage in daily athletics of their choosing, as long as they are meeting academic and behavioral standards.

With an Olympic-level ski resort just minutes from our campus, our students may ski or snowboard seven days per week during winter months and we are the only boarding school to offer big mountain skiing.

Our students participate in daily activities and athletics which are embedded into the daily student schedule. LTP’s location provides access to a variety of outdoor recreation and sports for our students to enjoy. Typical afternoon or weekend activities include but are not limited to: biking, hiking, climbing, soccer, tennis, bike path rides, mountain biking, skateboarding, weightlifting, cardio gym, basketball, volleyball, swimming, kayaking, skiing, snowshoeing, ice skating, and more.
