Academic  & Facility Fees

Academic Excellence at OHA: The Integrated Program

 

The OHA Academic Advantage​

We provide a seamless integration of sport and study, ensuring our athletes are as prepared for the university lecture hall as they are for the rink.

  • Integrated Scheduling: Our timetable is built around the athlete. Classes, practices, and training are synchronized so that students never have to choose between a workout and a lecture.

  • On-Site Faculty & Instruction: Courses are taught on-campus by our dedicated secondary school teachers. This face-to-face interaction ensures a level of accountability and mentorship that online programs cannot match.

  • Small Class Sizes (15:1): We maintain a low student-to-teacher ratio to provide personalized instruction, ensuring no student-athlete falls behind, even during heavy travel periods.

  • Supervised Study Halls: To manage the rigors of the road, we integrate mandatory, supervised study sessions into the daily routine—and even during travel—to maintain academic momentum

​

Pathways to the Next Level

  • We don't just teach; we place. Our academic infrastructure is designed to open doors to the NCAA, U Sports, and prestigious global universities.

  • OSSD Accreditation: Students earn credits toward the Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD), a globally recognized standard of excellence that is a gateway to top-tier universities worldwide.

  • NCAA & USports Advising: Our dedicated advisors provide specialized counseling for NCAA Clearinghouse eligibility and U Sports recruitment, ensuring all academic requirements are met for collegiate play.

  • Standardized Test Prep: We offer dedicated support for SAT and ACT preparation, essential for athletes looking to secure scholarships and placement in US colleges.

 

Academic & Facility Fees: What’s Included

Our comprehensive fee structure provides an all-inclusive academic experience. There are no "hidden costs" for the essential tools of student success.

​

  • Instruction        Direct on-campus teaching by OHA faculty, small-group settings, and full OSSD credit administration.

  • Curriculum      All assignments, testing, final examinations, and syllabi preparation.

  • Placement         Expert academic advising for NCAA, USports, and university admissions.

  • Technology       Full access to school computers, high-speed campus networks, and printing/copying for all schoolwork.

  • Lab & Studio    All consumable supplies for science labs, fine arts materials, and classroom resources.

  • Enrichment       Guest lecturers, specialized workshops, and comprehensive classroom materials.

​

Why "On-Site" Matters

In an era of remote learning, OHA remains committed to the physical classroom. Having our "very own" teachers on campus means that when a player returns from a road trip, their teacher is there to assist, understand their schedule, and provide the one-on-one support needed to excel.

Academic total is $ 33,500

Elite Hockey Development & Performance

At OHA, we don't just play the game; we master it. Our program is built on the four pillars of modern elite hockey: Technical Skill, Physical Power, Tactical Intelligence, and Scout Visibility.

​

DON’T MISS the CRITICAL Teenage Years of Development ……. ASK "Is the program Hockey Canada sanctioned?"

Be AWARE of the UNSANCTIONED program - TRAP - What they wont tell you

Staying with a sanctioned academy like OHA ensures that every goal you score and every save you make is being tracked by top scouts and the people who hand out scholarships …. Will get you to the next level.

The "Invisible" Player: If you aren't in a sanctioned program, you risk being completely invisible to the recruiters who matter. You’re a teenager once.

                                                                         Sanctioned (OHA)                                Non-Sanctioned Programs

NCAA DI / DIII Scholarship               Primary Pathway - High (Well-scouted)            Extremely Low - close to ZERO

U Sports (Canadian University)          Direct Scouting                                                        Rarely Scouted

Elite Showcases                                          Invited                                                                         Banned

Scouting                                                        Direct access to Junior/College scouts               Limited; often ignored by top scouts

Eligibility                                                     Eligible for all provincial/national events          Often banned from sanctioned events

Insurance                                                      Full Hockey Canada coverage                              Varies (often inadequate)

Coaching                                                      Certified & background checked                          No mandatory national standard

Competition                                                Top-tier (CSSHL, OWHA etc.)                          Often poor and inconsistent quality

NHL Drafted.                                            Yes (Primary source)                                                No (Virtually never)

Level of Play                                               Consistent & Elite                                                   Inconsistent & Unregulated

​

1. Professional On-Ice Development

Our daily schedule mirrors that of a NCAA, Junior or Professional team, providing a volume of elite instruction that far exceeds standard club hockey.

  • High-Volume Training: Average 5+ hours per week of dedicated team practices, games and high-tempo skill sessions (in season)

  • Tactical Video Analysis: We utilize industry-leading software (InStat) for group film study and individual "clip" reviews to sharpen hockey IQ and break down player habits.

3. The Scout-Focused Travel & League Play

The OHA schedule is strategically designed to place our athletes in front of the decision-makers in Junior, USports, and NCAA hockey.

  • Elite League or Showcase Events: Our student-athletes compete at the highest levels of prep hockey. While many of our teams compete within elite leagues, others follow a specialized Showcase Schedule. This model allows our teams to travel to premier scouted events across North America, ensuring maximum exposure to NCAA, USports, and Junior scouts

  • North American Showcases: We travel to some of the continent’s most high-profile showcases, specifically chosen for their high density of NCAA,    USport and Junior scouts.

  • The Family Advisor Connection: Our coaches act as direct liaisons, maintaining active pipelines to NCAA Division I and III, USports, and Junior recruiters.

​

Hockey & Travel Fees: What is Covered

We believe in transparency. Our travel fee is designed to cover the logistical heavy lifting of a North American touring schedule.

  • Standard League Travel: All bus transportation, team hotels, and athlete meals for standard league play and events are included.

  • Facility Access:              Full use of all OHA-dedicated dry-land areas and training equipment.

  • Tournament Entry:          Registration fees for Hockey Canada, league play and standard seasonal tournaments.

  • Analytics & Software:     Access to video analysis platforms and individual performance tracking data.

Note on Major Showcases:  Due to the specialized nature of certain "Premier" showcases involving airfare, these events are billed separately based on the team's specific competitive schedule. ($500 - $900 per airfare)

Comprehensive International Student Support

Our international fee structure is designed to provide a seamless transition for student-athletes coming to Canada from around the globe. To ensure our players can focus entirely on their development—and to provide peace of mind for families abroad—the following essential services are included:

The Variable Tuition Program: A Shared Commitment

At Ontario Hockey Academy, we are committed to building an elite community of student-athletes.

Our Variable Tuition program is designed to bridge the gap between a family’s financial reach and the cost of a premier OHA education.

Please contact our admissions team for a personalized consultation.

​

How We Make it Work

The Variable Tuition rate is a carefully balanced "three-pillar" model. To make enrollment possible for qualified candidates, we look at a combination of:

  1. Academic & Athletic Merit: Recognition of students who bring exceptional talent, leadership, and high academic standards to our community.

  2. Need-Based Analysis: A confidential review of a family’s unique financial profile.

  3. Personal Funding: The foundational commitment from the family to invest in their child’s future.

​

Important Program Considerations

Because we are committed to maintaining elite facilities and professional faculty, our ability to offer Variable Tuition is guided by the following principles:

  • Limited Annual Subsidy: As a private institution, our subsidy pool is small. We can only offer a limited number of Variable Tuition applicants each year. We encourage early applications, as these spots are filled on a first-come, first-served basis for mission-fit students.

  • Partial Support Model: Our program is designed to partial tuition assistance, not cover it in full. Every OHA family contributes to their child’s education, ensuring a community of families who are equally invested in the Academy’s success.

  • Fiscal Accountability: Because our academic and athletic schedules are pre-funded to ensure resources are ready for your child, strict adherence to the agreed-upon payment schedule is critical. Maintaining your account in good standing ensures the continued delivery of the high-level services.

Payment Schedule

Tuition Investment & Payment Plans

At Ontario Hockey Academy, we are committed to providing a world-class experience with a transparent and manageable financial structure.

To assist our families, we offer several convenient ways to manage your child’s educational and athletic investment.

 

1. Flexible Payment Options

We provide the convenience of customized payment plans to suit your family’s financial cycle. Tuition and fees can be remitted via:

  • Digital Payments: Online bill payment and Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT).

  • Direct Methods: Cash, Debit, or Personal Cheque.

  • Credit Cards: All major cards are accepted for secure, immediate processing with a card 4% service fee.

 

2. Securing Your Spot (Deposits)

Because we maintain strict class sizes and roster caps to ensure elite-level attention, a deposit is required to guarantee a student's placement for the upcoming season.

  • New Students: A non-refundable enrollment deposit is due immediately upon receipt of your Letter of Acceptance.

                             This deposit secures the student's seat in the classroom and their spot on the team roster.

  • Returning Students: To ensure continuity in their development pathway, returning families must submit their non-refundable re-enrollment deposit by February1st for the following academic year to secure spot on team roster.

​

3. Payment Plan Administration

Our finance office works closely with families to establish a clear schedule of installments. By adhering to a structured payment plan, families can focus on their athlete’s progress throughout the season without the stress of "lump-sum" billing.

​

Important Enrollment Notes

  • Commitment: Deposits are non-refundable as they represent a committed spot that is taken off the market, allowing the Academy to finalize faculty hiring and league registrations.

  • Financial Aid: Families participating in our Variable Tuition program will have their specific payment schedules outlined in their customized enrollment contract.

​

Possible Extra Fees

Incidental Expenses & Optional Services
