The program uniquely integrates classroom learning with basketball and other collaborative activities to inspire learning, build life skills, and promote lifelong health and wellness.
The 3Point Summer Learning Academy at UMass Boston is a free, five-week in-person program for Boston students in grades 3-7, utilizing sports, academics, and project-based learning to cultivate essential life skills. Each week, students delve into a different aspect of success—academic, physical, personal, social, and community—through engaging activities that combine classroom learning with basketball. The curriculum emphasizes 21st-century skills such as critical thinking, problem-solving, communication, collaboration, creativity, digital literacy, and adaptability, fostering a growth mindset. The program aims to prevent summer learning loss, enhance academic achievement in ELA and math, and develop social-emotional skills. It culminates in a TED Talk-style presentation where students share their inspired visions for their future.
A typical day includes 3 hours of project-based learning on various subjects in the morning, followed by lunch. The afternoon consists of 3 hours of sports, computer design, and social-emotional learning.
This program is best for Boston Public School students in grades 3-7 who want to develop real-life success skills through a combination of academics, sports, and project-based learning.
