The Chi Chi Rodriguez Academy is a Drop Out Prevention School in partnership with the Pinellas County School District. The Academy includes traditional classroom learning experiences integrated into the business of a public golf course. Students in grades 4-8 receive individual attention in the classroom and are taught valuable life skills using The First Tee curriculum.
The purpose of The First Tee program at the Chi Chi Rodriguez Academy is to provide students with a different perspective of life and its fundamental values.
As one of the premier youth character-education programs in the country, The First Tee Life Skills Experience has helped many children increase their potential for success through the game of golf. The program is predicated on Nine Core Values inherently connected with golf, such as integrity, respect and sportsmanship.
