Another great retention strategy is to create a summer events calendar and load it up with classes and events to help keep your students interest and make your school a great place to be this summer.

You can host picnics, martial arts movie nights, trips miniature golf, pizza parties and other fun events outside your regular class schedule. You can also plan events in or after classes such as bring a friend day, an ice cream party, game night, and host guest instructors. Use your imagination.

The key is to give your students the calendar of events before the summer starts so that they can see, well in advance, what they’ll miss if they’re not around!
