Collective Weekly

Part of what makes Summer Academy so special is the dedicated teachers who give their summers to helping students grow. Many Summer Academy teachers are public school teachers, aspiring teachers, or former Student U students. Every teacher understands the importance of education and is passionate about helping students succeed. Before we welcome students to Summer Academy, teachers and Student U staff spend two weeks training and collaborating to ensure our students have the best possible experience. Eager and excited to begin the summer, staff arrived bright and early for training each day. They started their mornings with Morning Brilliance, a time dedicated to hearing from fellow staff members and community leaders. Morning Brilliance was often followed by a fun game, where staff could interact with one another and begin building relationships before the summer began.
