The Enes Kanter School for Exceptional …

The Enes Kanter School for Exceptional Learning — Kanter’s proposed charter school in Oklahoma City — will be the fulfillment of that dream. It would be the continuation of his parents’ desire to educate the youth. It would provide better resources and an increased chance of success, Kanter believes, for children from low-income families who would not otherwise necessarily receive the same academic opportunities as students from wealthier families. In a letter to Ronald Grant, Oklahoma City’s charter schools administrator — which was shared publicly by The Frontier — Kanter declared his intention to submit a formal proposal for the school this Tuesday. His goal is to have the school up and running by fall of 2021. While the exact location for the school building has not been picked, Kanter chose Oklahoma City, where he played from 2014 to 2017, because of his ties to the community and his relationships with politicians willing to support his vision.
