The National Sport School (NSS) is a public high school (secondary school) in Calgary, Alberta which teaches grades 8 through 12. In partnership with Winsport Canada, the school was created to support student athletes with Olympic potential. Developmental and competitive athletes (current and potential) are able to train and travel internationally, while staying in school. It was founded in 1994 as the first national sport school in the country.
In 2003, NSS moved from its prior location at William Aberhart High School, into the northwest corner of the building housing Ernest Manning High School. In September 2011, the NSS moved from Ernest Manning to Canada Olympic Park in the Athletic & Ice Complex due to the old Ernest Manning location closing for LRT construction. The National Sport School is now located in the Markin MacPhail Centre at WinSport, next to training centers, ice rinks, and the Calgary Gymnastics Centre.
