Founded in 2023, Kzen Academy Canada was created to provide student athletes with opportunities to use basketball as a tool to unlock opportunities and change their lives.

Located in Ottawa, ON, the Academy was formed in partnership with Collège La Cité to give high school students exposure to a post secondary experience, while exploring their own academic and athletic opportunities in both Canada and abroad.

Development doesn’t happen overnight. Which is why our experienced staff team subscribes to the theory of continuous improvement in all aspects of the game and in the classroom while players are with the program. Our goal is provide as much development and exposure as possible for our athletes, while fostering an environment of trust, transparency and respect with the families we serve.

With decades of coaching, teaching, and sports management experience, we believe that we know what it takes for student-athletes to reach their full potential both on and off the court.
