Teesas lights up young minds with transformative summer school

Teesas Education is set to light up the summer for children aged eight to 18 with a transformative learning experience that blends academics with creativity and innovation.

The edTech-driven firm will run the summer school across two engaging cohorts from July 21 to August 8, and August 11 to 28, which promises to be more than just an academic boost.

Osayi Izedonmwen, chairman/ founder of Teesas Education, encouraging parents not to let the holidays be another wasted summer of missed opportunities, when he said that the Teesas Summer School is the ultimate summer school experience for children aged eight to 18, describing the programme as a “launchpad for tomorrow’s entrepreneurs, innovators, and changemakers”.

“What sets our summer school apart is a series of entrepreneurship-focused activities specially designed for teenagers. They will gain skills to develop business ideas, and the summer school will culminate in a real-world pitch to business leaders, including one who has built two billion-dollar companies, for the chance to receive startup capital,” he said.

Participants at the summer school will learn foundational tech and vocational skills, including coding, generative artificial intelligence (AI), and phone and tablet repairs.

According to the organiser creativity will also flourish through aerobics, animation and graphic design classes.

“Every child will undergo a pre-assessment to identify academic gaps, followed by customised tutoring and continuous computer-based testing for senior secondary school students to get them acquainted with the examination formats of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) and the West African Examinations Council (WAEC).

“Character and leadership development skills, which have been identified as pivotal to the future of work, will also take centre stage with winning lessons from “The Seven Habits of Happy Kids” and “The Seven Habits of Highly Effective Teens.”

Teesas Education, an impact-driven edTech company, distinguishes itself with a no-phone policy during classes, giving parents peace of mind that their children will remain attentive.

The organisers also emphasised that parents will benefit from ongoing progress reports, reinforcing Teesas’ commitment to accountability and growth.

The summer school is scheduled to run from 8:00 am to 2:00 pm, from Monday to Friday, at the organisation’s learning centres in Ikeja and Lekki, respectively.
