Methodology
When we talk about our methods, we describe it as “The Summit Way”. Our goal is to plant the seeds that foster lifelong learning. Using customized student growth plans within a nurturing community of educators, learners, family and friends, creates an environment for our students to thrive and to become community leaders.
At our school, we are dedicated to fostering the social-emotional growth of our students through comprehensive programming. These evidence-based programs help students develop critical skills such as self-awareness, empathy, emotional regulation, and responsible decision-making. Through engaging lessons and activities, we empower students to build positive relationships, resolve conflicts constructively, and grow into compassionate and resilient individuals. By prioritizing SEL, we aim to create a supportive and inclusive school environment where every student thrives both academically and personally.
With multisensory based-learning, students use more than one sense at a time. Reading programs for struggling readers use multisensory methods. It provides students with more than one way to make connections and learn concepts.
Technology, fine arts, the sciences, mathematics, and communication arts are integral to our curriculum because they allow students to both acquire and apply knowledge in multiple modalities, or ways of knowing.
Research confirms that students benefit significantly from art and music education programs in schools. Unfortunately, in the past 20 years, programs in art, music and physical education have been cut in many public schools. Art, Music and Physical Education supports many kinds of learning, from language to motor skills, in a brain-changing way. Here at Summit Schools, they are an integral art to learning.
