I Promise School built in Akron, Ohio, opened on Monday July 30th. The school will provide everything for free, including:
Free tuitionThe public school is considered the first of its kind and will serve low-income and at-risk students in Lebron’s hometown.
Free uniforms
Free bicycle and helmet
Free transportation within 2 miles
Free breakfast, lunch, and snacks
Free pantry for families
Job placement services for parents
Guaranteed tuition to the University of Akron for every student who graduates.
Lebron has done a lot to give back to his community but the I Promise School will be King James’ crown jewel. The 240-person population of third- and fourth-graders is made up of students “identified by Akron Public Schools as behind in critical academic areas and other factors.”

James insisted that his institution be a public school, as he could relate to the pitfalls that Akron youth must face.
Reacting to the opening of the school, Michelle wrote: “@BarackObama and I are so proud of @KingJames and @IPROMISESchool. Kids in Akron and across the US are lucky to have you as a role model on and off the court. Keep using your platform for good and giving our kids a chance to shoot for the stars. ?? #ReachHigher #BetterMakeRoom”
