According to Wikipedia, etymologically, the word education is derived from educare (Latin) “bring up”, which is related to educere “bring out”, “bring forth what is within”, “bring out potential” and ducere, “to lead.”

This describes education from PSIA-NW to a “T.”  Recall the PSIA-NW Mission Statement – “Provide high quality educational resources and well defined standards to aid our members in improving their teaching skills to better satisfy the needs and expectations of their customer in the enjoyment of snowsports.”  In these pages you will find a number of programs and events to help “bring out” the potential of you and your students while developing a life long passion for the mountain experience.  Education is the primary focus of what we do.

See all Education Events and Descriptions or choose from the menu to the right for more specific information in the Education section of PSIA-NW.
