Students and parents who are ready for a fun, safe, academically enriching experience this summer can now plan on a convenient solution: Metro Schools’ Promising Scholars program.
Starting June 7, the district will offer no-cost summer learning camps at nearly 70 school sites around Nashville and Davidson County for students who will be entering grades K-12 in August. Breakfast, lunch, and transportation will be provided, and some sites will offer before- and after-care.
Each camp will offer a mix of classroom learning; science, technology, and art activities; physical activity, and other fun experiences, with a full-day schedule for rising Kindergarten through eighth-graders and a half-day for rising ninth- through 12th-graders.
Although academic work will not be graded, students will have an opportunity to get caught up academically before the 2021-22 school year begins. High school students will have some credit recovery options as well as college and career readiness opportunities, while the half-day schedule for their sessions will still allow time for summer jobs.
Registration is now open for Promising Scholars. Families can use the Smart Choice school options program to sign their students up. We have a video tutorial available to watch that shows how to navigate this program.
