The Hill Academy is an independent school in Ontario, Canada, for student athletes in Grades K -12/PG with a focus on hockey, lacrosse and golf. [2] [3] It is co-ed, and serves grades K-12. [4]
The Hill Academy was founded in 2006 by the Merrill family, for “dedicated student-athletes.” [1] [5] [6]
In 2006 it had 16 student-athletes and held classes at a conference center in Orangeville, Ontario, north-west of Toronto. [2] [1] By 2017 it relocated to three houses in the village of Kleinburg. [1] [7] The 24 students practiced at a community park, and trained at a local gym. [1] In 2010 it had 85 students. [8]
In 2016 Hill Academy had 185 student-athletes divided among four lacrosse teams—three boys’ and one girls’—and three hockey teams. [1] Their classrooms were located next to the Vaughan Sports Village in Vaughan, Ontario. [3] [1] They were ranked the world’s No. 1 high school lacrosse team. [1] [9]
In September 2020 The Hill Academy moved into its new campus on the 134-acre former SGI Canada Caledon Centre for Culture and Education near Alton in Caledon, Ontario. [5] The campus has a turf field named in Honour of former student-athlete Jamieson Kuhlmann - The Jamieson Kuhlmann Legacy Field.
The Hill Academy offers a curriculum to student-athletes in grades K -12. It also offers a post-graduate year called "The Breakaway Year," with a stated goal of raising the profile of student-athletes in order to open doors for their future. [2]
Peter Merrill is Founder of The Hill Academy. [1] [10] Christy Flynn is the Director, Academics, and Tory Merrill is the Principal. [11] [12] The school has a sports scientist on staff, professional coaches, and academic faculty. [1]
