Athlos Academy of Saint Cloud is a tuition-free, public charter school located in Saint Cloud, Minnesota, serving students in grades K–8. The school distinguishes itself through a unique educational model that integrates three foundational pillars: prepared mind (rigorous academics), healthy body (character-focused physical activity), and performance character (the development of traits like grit, leadership, and integrity). By balancing traditional classroom instruction with a structured physical fitness program, the academy aims to foster both intellectual growth and the lifelong habits necessary for students to succeed in various aspects of their lives.

Beyond its core curriculum, Athlos Academy emphasizes a supportive school culture built on the philosophy that character is a skill that can be practiced and mastered. The school utilizes a "Performance Character" program that explicitly teaches and rewards traits such as optimism, social intelligence, and self-control. As a public charter school, it operates with a high degree of autonomy, allowing it to maintain this specialized, holistic approach while remaining accessible to all students within the Saint Cloud community.
