Generation Teach Summer Academy is an incredible program that achieves outstanding summer learning results, especially for our Black and Latinx students. When I set my priorities each year, I think about the programs that are most impactful for our students, and Generation Teach is always on that list. It is a unique opportunity for everyone to grow together during the summer: students, teacher fellows, and professional educators.

I've never seen my child constantly excited to go to school, but that's exactly what I observed every week he has been in GT Virtual Academy. His teachers are FUN, thoughtful and engaging, AND he loves the content of his classes.
Though math has been a challenge for him for quite some time, this is the first time it's also been his favorite class. If it were possible for him to continue attending GT Virtual Academy, I would do it in a heartbeat. I can't recommend this program highly enough.
