Windells Skateboard Academy:Where It’s Okay To Skate At School

Are you one of those students who have a hard time concentrating at school?  Does the average topic of discussion regarding Shakespeare, addition and subtraction symbols, Sir Isaac Newton, WAYNE NEWTON, and such bore you?  Well believe it or not, there are hundreds of thousands of students just like you all over this country.  Just check out some of the nation’s TEST SCORES and you will see that there is definitely something wrong with the public school system.  Maybe you aren’t being challenged enough.  Perhaps your mental power can only go as far as you are being challenged?  If you feel like you easily fit into this category, there are several options you can take.  But make sure you choose wisely because this can affect the rest of your academic career, and possibly get you into the ACADEMIC OLYMPIAD.  Maybe you can even challenge SAMEER MISHRA (below) in next year’s National Spelling Bee.

You can get home schooled by one of your parents.  The awesome thing is that you don’t have to wake up as early because you are already at school.  The sucky thing is that during recess, your MOM is the only option you have to play handball with.  Another option is the boarding school option.  It’s away from your parents and away from the stupid people at school.  The problem with that is that you may get homesick and getting bullied by the other troubled STUDENTS may not be very fun.  You can study abroad.  This option is pretty cool except if you don’t like the COUNTRY you are visiting, there is no turning back.

Or else you can go with the completely new and awesome option of going to Skateboard Academy.  I think if this was around during my era, I would have gotten at least straight B’s.  Skateboarding and school is one moxie of an idea.  I hope that this flourishes so that more branches will open nation wide.  And I can bring my kid there one day.  Check out the press release for more info.

After a very successful first year, Windells Academy is excited to be moving into year two with the addition of a skateboard program, becoming the first skateboard-specific academy in the world. Located in the heart of the skateboard capitol of the United States, in Welches, Oregon, Windells Academy is a year-round program that allows participants to improve their skateboarding, while carrying on their education. With the recent addition of the new 25,000 square foot park built by Windells’ own Jamie Weller, Windells now houses 50,500 square feet of skate terrain on campus. With over 200 skate parks in the Greater Portland area, Windells Academy is at the epicenter of skateboarding in the Northwest, and debatably the United States. While other parts of the world may be covered in snow for up to 8 months at a time, temperate Pacific Northwest conditions allow for skateboarding year round, 365 days a year.

Windells Academy is unlike any other high school on the planet. Students grades 9-12 can enroll for the full year, or just one term. Windells Academy strives to provide its students with a quality education, and the use of the Kaplan High School virtual educational program offers students the opportunity to choose from a variety of classes and to tailor their schedule to their needs. Allowing students to focus on their individual needs provides a learning environment where students are set to thrive. The Kaplan High School program offers open enrollment, with classes throughout the calendar year, allowing students to enter the program at any time, and to plan their academics around their competition or travel plans. The success of Windells Academy’s academics lies in the one-on-one attention and tutoring provided by our staff. Students are guided through the educational process and kept on pace by an Academic Advisor.

Alongside traveling to skate parks throughout North America, students of Windells Academy are given the opportunity to see the skateboard industry in multiple facets. Weekly industry trips are scheduled where students are given insight to the skateboard industry by visiting companies and manufacturers playing an active role in the skateboard community. Windells Academy focuses these trips on students getting a more in-depth understand of skateboarding, the skateboard industry, as well building contacts that will prove to be valuable in life both and off of the board. There is simply no other place in the world that could provide you with the time of your life like Windells Academy can, with the best skateboarding in the world and an excellent education at your fingertips.
