What is Summit Learning?
The Summit Learning program engages students in real, meaningful learning while fostering strong teacher relationships that prepare students for life after graduation. Created by teachers with experience in diverse classrooms, Summit Learning is grounded in decades of research about how children learn. The Summit Learning program offers schools customizable curriculum, a range of educational resources and technology tools, professional development for educators, and ongoing coaching and support for schools.
Families and Schools: Partners in Education
Coastal Academy High School, Oceanside, CA

The Role of the Teacher in the Classroom
Howard University Middle School, Washington, DC

With the ability to review student work in real time on the Summit Learning platform, teachers like Mr. Baiza at Howard University Middle School better understand each student's learning and customize lessons to meet every student where they need support.
Engaging Students, Engaging Parents
Chester County Junior High School, Henderson, TN
At Chester County Junior High School, both parents and school leaders value partnership between families and educators. With Summit Learning, parents have unparalleled, real-time access to their child's school experience — they can log in at any time or sign up for text notifications to see exactly what their child is working on and how they are progressing toward their goals.
Mentoring: Better Understanding and Supporting Students
In addition to instruction from their classroom teacher, every student also has weekly one-on-one meetings with a teacher who serves as their mentor. With this dedicated time, teacher-mentors talk with students about both their academic and emotional experience of school, which fosters deep understanding and connection between students and teachers, and leads to happier and more supportive learning environments for all children.
