What Students of LeBron’s ‘I PROMISE’ School Receive
Despite all of LeBron James victories, he said the best day of his life was opening the I PROMISE school in collaboration with the Akron, Ohio Public School System.
He’s giving at-risk children, some with learning disabilities and others from broken homes, opportunities they couldn’t have imagined. The school follows a non-traditional schedule with year-round programming and the school begins at 9 a.m. and end at 5 p.m.
The 2018 school year will be 3rd and 4th grade and will expand to include grades 1-8 by 2020.
Here is the cool thing, not only do the kids receive a state-of-the-art facility and an incredible learning experience; they also receive amenities.
What The Student Of The I PROMISE School Receive:
– Free tuition
– Free uniforms
– Free transportation within 2 miles
– Guaranteed college tuition to the University of Akron for every student who graduates
– Food pantry for families GED’s and job placement services for parents
