Personalized Days off in Lieu of PA/PD Days

Traditional schools often close for 7–14 Professional Activity (PA) or Professional Development (PD) days annually, which can disrupt the learning rhythm. At ÜNI Academy, we reimagine this model to better serve our students and families.​

​

• Customized Time Off: Each student is allotted 10 days off during the academic year, to be scheduled at the family's discretion. While not mandatory to take these days off, we recommend that students use this time to rest and engage in some family activities.

• Flexible Planning: Families can choose dates that best fit their personal schedules, allowing for vacations or rest periods without impacting the overall program. We are able to accommodate this flexibility due to the personalized nature of our education program.

• Recommendation: While there's flexibility, we suggest planning no more than five consecutive days off to maintain continuity in learning.​​

 

This approach ensures families enjoy the autonomy to plan breaks that suit their needs.
