Summer 2024

The Academy offers an eight week summer program for all middle school students in Waukegan, IL.

The summer program is a way to stay connected, continue academic growth and basketball skills, while continuing to help create leaders within our community.

The summer program runs in June and July annually and is located at John Lewis Middle School. This program welcomes students that are entering into sixth grade all the way through to our rising ninth graders. Our focus for the summer is educational enrichment, basketball progression, cultural experiences and exploration. Monday through Thursday, students attend  high interest and highly interactive classes in the morning and focus on basketball fundamentals, skill training, and teamwork in the afternoon. Field trips for new cultural experiences, exploration, and fun are taken every Friday. Every year the summer program has grown and expanded giving more opportunities and exciting experiences for our middle school students.

The summer is a time for The Academy to continue to build strong and lasting relationships with our students, families, and communities.
