Selecting Summit

The typical Summit School student may be described as "educationally bruised." A language-based learning disability is prevalent. Parents typically feel that their child's educational program has inadequately met their needs, and they are frustrated. For these students and families, The Summit School offers hope. We believe that every child has the potential to excel in school and in life. We assume and support the success of every student, and we have built the ideal climate to help young people achieve their success.
