SCHOOLING

Blyth Academy

For Canadian players, the Erie Otters have entered into a partnership with Blyth Academy. Blyth Academy Online is an academically respected online private school, connecting students from across the globe with access to a robust selection of Canadian high school credit courses that can be completed anywhere, any time. Blyth works alongside other OHL programs and offers curriculums specifically for student-athletes. Blyth Academy offers an academic experience that is significantly different from other private and public schools. The core principle at Blyth Academy is to provide care and empathy to their students. Designed as boutique schools, Blyth Academy’s limited enrollment enables teachers and staff to provide personalized teaching and individual care both in and out of class.

Schooling for US Born Players

For US born players, the Otters will work alongside the player and their family to enroll them in an online schooling program that fits both their educational and academic goals, allowing them the opportunity to get the best and most appropriate education for their needs.

Are Tutors Available?

Yes. If a player feels the need for a tutor, the team will arrange one at no cost to the player or the player's family.

What Does A Typical Day Look Like for High School Players?

Can Players take Post-Secondary Classes?

Yes. The Otters encourage players who have graduated high school to take at least one post-secondary course while with the Otters. These courses are paid for by the Otters, and do not count against the player's scholarship package. Players can enroll in online courses from any school or attend classes in-person at any of the three universities located in Erie. These universities are Mercyhurst University, Gannon University, or Penn State University - Behrend Campus.
