Some education experts and parents fear the “summer slide” may be more troublesome due to the lasting impacts the pandemic has had on learning.
For students at One City Schools, the learning doesn’t stop.
Students at One City Schools eagerly don pajamas for spirit week in July because for them, it’s a regular day of class.
Kaleem Caire, founder and CEO of One City Schools said, “We really asked our parents what type of school do you want and having something for their children to do during the summer was important.”
Even the students seem to enjoy going to school in the summer.
Caydence, a 3rd grader said, “My favorite thing is about school is like that, like we stay all year to get like smart.”
Brandyn, a 2nd grader said, “My favorite subject is recess. Why? Because I get to play basketball, and play with my friends.”
