McDonald's Launches Wave 3 of "Night Classroom" for Students Nationwide

"In the summer heat, we know how hard it is to concentrate when you’re not comfortable. As McDonald's continues to grow and reach more customers nationwide, we recognize an even bigger responsibility to address the needs of the community, including students who've always frequented our stores -- whether it's for a quick snack or an all-nighter study session. McDonald's Night Classroom is one of the ways we support students and young professionals by providing a safe space that allows them to focus on working for their future." ~Meryl Adiel T. Hernandez, Assistant Vice President Corporate Relations and Impact Golden Arches Development Corporation

Students across the country can rejoice as McDonald's Night Classroom returns, transforming party areas into late-night study hubs where students and teachers can study and complete homework while enjoying exclusive perks and McDonald's favorites via the McDonald's App!

Hernandez explained that the McDonald’s Night Classroom was conceived to meet the challenge of students seeking a good after-school spot review space.

McDonald's Night Classroom Wave 3 is the largest yet, with 107 participating branches throughout the Philippines. From 8 p.m. to 4 a.m. on April 15–May 31, students can enjoy dedicated study areas with wide tables, ample lighting, and gadget charging ports. At the same time, they have free unlimited wi-fi, which allows them to complete their online projects and research. To sweeten the deal, students who register will receive a FREE 16oz Coke McFloat with the purchase of any McDonald's Night Classroom product offer through the McDo App.

Excitement for Wave 3 spread quickly, with students responding to the announcement by tagging their friends, such as Polytechnic University of the Philippines' Kim Esteban, who named two classmates, and Negros Occidental's Sybel Sean Subaldo, who tagged three friends with the call, "Siri ta tuon parasi" (Let's go here!). 

Other netizens praised McDonald's for the idea behind the Night Classroom, with Kim Dy of Camarines Sur calling it "genius" and Bulacan's Flerida Grantoza cheering, "Good job!"

“We believe that students are our future, helping build their educational foundation is crucial. When a customer steps into our store, we want them to feel the same warmth and comfort as if they were coming home, and the McDonald’s Night Classroom is an extension of that– here, you can study and focus, you don’t need to worry about anything else.” ~Flerida Grantoza

With the return of McDonald’s Night Classroom, it’s never been easier for students to achieve their #studygoals!

The McDonald’s Night Classroom runs from April 15 to May 31. Interested students and teachers may register for slots by scanning the designated QR code and filling up the online form at their nearest participating branch.
