With a strong foundation, the possibilities are endless.Empowering bright students with dyslexia and other learning differences. .
The Summit School,founded in 1989, is a co-ed, not-for-profit
school for bright students with dyslexia and other learning
differences. Our students are most often diagnosed with
language-based learning disabilities by specialists in the field.
At Summit, our preference is to view those disabilities as
differences because we emphasize the gifts each student brings,
help them reach their full potential, as well as remediate their
skills. The school offers a mainstream curriculum in a supportive
environment with programs tailored to individual learning styles.
Highly skilled teaching professionals cultivate each child's
strengths using a multi- sensory approach to foster literacy and
interactive learning. Outside the classroom, students participate
in a wide range of activities including athletics, student
government, clubs and community service programs. Summit students
successfully transition to area mainstream high schools. The
Summit School educates children with unique learning styles to
their full potential. The Summit School envisions a future for
students in which they mature into self-sufficient, self-advocating
and successful adults despite their learning challenges.
Innovative school that matches some of the best academic programs in Europe or Australia. I have been impressed with their willingness to be creative and seek ways to identify issues in each child and then work to help the CHILD learn to address them. They build confidence not only in the material they are learning but in their ability to learn generally. We were lucky we discovered our son's dyslexia early, but for those who learned later, the school has a remarkable ability to turn around troubled students and make them acadmic achievers who are not limited by their learning issue.
