OUR BACKGROUND

[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]

CHILL Academy is an affiliate of the Minnesota CHILL Foundation (“CHILL”) – which is a non-profit organization that provides academic programming to educate and prepare student athletic scholars for future success. CHILL was launched in 2011 by founders Chuck and Cindy Hill. The Hills have a long-standing and demonstrated history of care, generosity, and compassion for youth in the community through their various academic/athletic platforms.

[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20″][vc_column_text]

To further build upon their legacy of promoting athletic & academic excellence within the community, the Hill family created the CHILL Academy, geared for youth in the K-8th grades. This new Academy is designed to take the youth participants through a 9-month afterschool program that will focus on improving math, reading, money management, and social/life skills.

OUR APPROACH

 

[/vc_column_text][/qode_elements_holder_item][qode_elements_holder_item vertical_alignment=”middle” advanced_animations=”no”][vc_column_text]

We believe that a more holistic approach to educating scholars in our specified grade-range is the most effective for their academic, physical, and mental/emotional wellness, growth, and development.

[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”15″][vc_column_text]

To aid us in accomplishing these desired positive outcomes, our scholars and their families will have the opportunity to participate in the following components:

Our scholars cannot do this alone; it takes a village to raise a child! Our leadership and staff, led by Chuckie and Marcus Hill, understand and value the importance of building a community of positive role models for our youth, and their surrounding community/village. We are comprised of skilled teachers/staff who are dedicated and well-equipped to effectively teach, model, and reinforce expected behavior of lifelong learning in and outside the classroom. We believe this teaching method will increase the level of engagement and sense of community within the classroom.
