Now that LeBron James is a Los Angeles resident, he doesn't have to go too far out of his way to stop by "Ellen."

The former Cleveland Cavaliers star is scheduled to appear on "Ellen" Wednesday, where he'll discuss his I Promise School, which opened in Akron this summer.

The I Promise School is part of the Akron Public School District, using the district’s curriculum and incorporating a “STEM, hands-on, problem-based learning focus” with the Lebron James Family Foundation’s “We Are Family” philosophy to encourage support at home and in the classroom.

James sat down with WKYC's Amani Abraham in July prior to the school's grand opening, where he also discussed his move to join the Los Angeles Lakers, calling the decision "bittersweet."

You can watch the episode Wednesday at 4 p.m. on Channel 3.
