Student-athletes participating in the WCPA program attend Vimy Ridge Academy (Edmonton Public School) as a part of the Elite Athlete Program. This program is designed to help high-performance athletes pursue their sport while keeping academics at the forefront by providing tailored academic schedules and support. Student-athletes can enrol in Advanced Placement (AP) level courses.

Furthermore, WCPA provides access to tutors, grade monitoring, and academic success planning and support to ensure athletes are academically eligible for their academic program of choice.

Each student-athlete works with a coach to develop an academic plan with target grades and tangible action steps to achieve the target grades. There are periodic academic check-ins to ensure student-athletes are on track.
