High Performer Program

The High Performer Program (the “HPP”) is an academic program provided by the Toronto District School Board (the “TDSB”) for elite-level athletes who require flexible timetabling as a result of rigorous training and competition schedules. The HPP is designed for students seeking to achieve excellence in both academics and athletics. The HPP provides students with the opportunity to participate in intensive training and competition while successfully achieving curriculum expectations and learning goals as outlined by the Ministry of Education.

Bryst Football Academy is looking forward to an amazing 24/25 HPP school year at Hollycrest MS and Silverthorn CI. We are proud to be a provider for such an outstanding elite program!

With many years of experience, our team will deliver the best HP program where you’ll witness growth in all aspects of the game — technically, physically, mentally, and emotionally. Our HPP training will take place in the morning (Silverthorn CI) and afternoon (Hollycrest MS). Depending on the time slot you are placed in, you will either be transported back to school for educational classes or picked up for training. All HPP athletes will train for approximately 2.5 hours per day.

Outside of HPP, Bryst Football Academy has been a well-established academy for over 30 years. We proudly field many elite-level teams across different age groups. Our HPP program is designed to elevate your child’s development to the next level. If your child’s goal is to play soccer at the college or university level, we have dedicated programs (such as NCSA) that assist with connecting student-athletes to school coaches. If their goal is to play professionally, we provide trial opportunities as part of our expertise!

 

ACADEMICS

The High-Performance Program is a TDSB school initiative designed to support high-level amateur athletes with an accommodated school day that facilitates their training needs — promoting balance between academic and athletic commitments. Students attend school for half a day and train for the other half. They are placed into grade-appropriate classes either in the morning or afternoon, depending on their training schedule.

Just like Hollycrest the school day is designed to accommodate 3 hours of sport training while still making sure they get all their necessary credits for completing high school. The difference between Hollycrest and Silverthorn is that in high school the athletes earn credits for each completed course. Each athlete needs 30 credits to graduate from high school.
