OUR APPROACH • Our Model: The Summit Experience
We ensure that every minute of every day is a high quality learning experience for our students.
 |
Project TimeOur students are innovators, creators and problem-solvers. They develop these invaluable skills by participating in rich and collaborative deeper learning projects and experiences facilitated by our outstanding teachers. |
 |
Mentor TimeOur students have mentors who individually support them through their goals. Students lead weekly 1:1 meetings with their mentor, where they review their Personalized Learning Plan, track their progress and reflect on their learning. Mentors also serve as college counselors, coaches and family liaisons, ensuring their mentees are excelling inside and outside of the classroom every day |
 |
Personalized Learning TimeSummit students learn their academic content at their own pace, and in the style they learn best. They learn through a combination of playlists, peer-to-peer coaching and 1:1 tutoring from their teachers. Each week, our students set goals, make a plan, learn, show what they know and reflect. |
 |
Summit ReadsArguably the most important skill needed for college and career success, our students participate in dedicated time each day to improve and strengthen their reading. Together with their larger Summit community, they develop literacy skills, models perseverance and develops a life-long love of reading. |
 |
Community TimeOur students meet together each week in small, collaborative groups to engage in discussions about issues that are important to them. These dialogues underpin the Summit community's core characteristics of respect, responsibility, courage, compassion, curiosity and integrity, while exploring topics such as vulnerability, motivation, and self-advocacy. |
