The Summit program puts a very strong emphasis on education.
All students participate in formal classroom academics instruction each week.
Upon enrollment, students participate in a comprehensive academic assessment. We then design an individualized academic program to target subject areas and skills that require improvement and are essential for success in rigorous academic environments. The Summit Achievement curriculum emphasizes educational content, as well as development of academic and social skills necessary for continued success in school. Many students benefit from the safe, nurturing academic environment Summit provides. They acquire skills in time management, organization, conflict resolution with faculty and peers, strategies to avoid negative peer interactions, respect for the community, and how to appropriately communicate needs to adults.
