Ánimo Venice/Leadership Summer School Like last year, summer school will be held at Animo Leadership, just three blocks north of Animo Venice on the corner of Aviation and Arbor Vitae. Summer school will begin each day promptly at 8:00AM and end at 1:30 each day, five days a week from July 6 – August 7. Please be sure to arrange any summer plans accordingly, as attendance is mandatory, and excessive absences will result in your child losing credit for their summer school classes. If your child is enrolled in summer school, they will receive their summer school schedule during the last week of regular school, and are responsible for arriving, ready to learn, at Animo Leadership on July 6 before 8 AM. For more information, please view the Summer School Flyer.

life-long learning, cross-cultural competency, social responsibility,
and academic excellence.
