Summit’s Schedule
Students learn in a flexible learning environment that is broken into blocks. Brain breaks (recess) are provided throughout the day when students need them- not when it is convenient in the schedule. The arts are woven in throughout the day into all disciplines. We regularly bring in local artists and musicians to share their craft and talents. Physical movement is essential to learning, health, and well-being. We get creative on how we do “gym class” by providing students daily opportunities to challenge their bodies tailoring to their interests.
