What is Summit Learning?

Summit Learning is a research–based approach to education designed to drive student engagement, meaningful learning, and strong student–teacher relationships that prepare students for life beyond the classroom. Summit Learning is grounded in decades of research about how children learn. With Summit Learning, students gain mastery of core subjects like, history, English, and science, while also carefully developing the skills and habits of lifelong learners. The Summit Learning program offers schools customizable curriculum, a range of educational resources and technology tools including a robust learning management system (LMS), professional development for educators, and ongoing coaching and support for schools.
