Student engagement

We help schools create a culture where all students are invested in their own learning and understand how lessons apply to life outside the classroom. By working with their teachers to set goals and track progress, students are empowered to approach learning with a sense of motivation and accomplishment.

Classroom

Meaningful learning

Instead of simply memorizing information, students are given the time, support, and resources they need to master new material and apply what they've learned before moving on. Teachers see the day-to-day progress of each student, enabling them to meet students where they need support and help students advance quickly where they are most engaged. This approach ensures students don't fall through the cracks.

Strong relationships

The dynamic relationships between teachers and students are the heart of every Summit Learning classroom. In addition to the individualized and small group instruction students receive in the classroom, every student also has a teacher who serves as a mentor and meets with them weekly to discuss goals, motivations and challenges. The real connections formed between students and teachers support confidence and deeper learning.
