Our new office is located in Trout Lake, WA, nestled under the shadow of Mt. Adams and only 30 min from Hood River. This will be our new base for the school and students will be treated to our own tree-filled campus near the White Salmon River with amazing views of Mt. Adams. Mountain biking, kiteboarding, wind-surfing, climbing, hiking, year-round skiing, and of course world-class whitewater will be at our fingertips. The Columbia River Gorge is also the doorway to impressive British Columbia to the North, the granite filled mountains of California to the South, and the oh-so-wonderful wild lands of Idaho and Montana to the East. We are in the middle of it all with quick access to the Pacific Ocean to round out this heavy hitting extreme sport region. Its close proximity to Portland, OR gives students and staff an easy entry and exit point at PDX International Airport. Come join us for the upcoming 2011/012 school year and see why World Class just got a bit more "world class". </description><link>http://www.worldclassacademy.com/News?id=4</link></item><item><title>3/15/2010: Academy returns from spring semester in Chile</title><pubDate>Thu, 11 Mar 2010 13:55:15 GMT</pubDate><description>After two wonderful months in Chile the school has finished its time on the Futaleufu, travelled up to Pichilemu to assist with earthquake relief, and will be heading to Santiago to fly home for spring break.</description><link>http://www.worldclassacademy.com/News?id=3</link></item></channel></rss>
