The Components of the Summit Learning Student Experience:
The Components of the Summit Learning Student Experience:
- One-on-one mentoring – Students meet one-on-one with their mentor–-a teacher or school administrator--at least once a week. Mentors get to know their students deeply and strive to support them as they develop their sense of purpose. Mentors also help students set both long-term and short-term goals and coach them through their progress.
- Projects – Students spend the majority of their time working on projects that allow them to apply knowledge, skills, and habits to real-world scenarios. Science, English and History courses are divided into a series of projects taught by subject teachers. Teachers facilitate discussions in the classroom, coach students in applying their cognitive skills, and give students feedback.
- Self Direction – Students are guided through a learning cycle that fosters self-direction. They learn to set goals, select strategies, implement their plans, and reflect on the outcome to see if their plan worked. This cycle of learning can be applied to any task and is developed across all aspects of Summit Learning. Teachers and mentors work with students to provide individualized support.

Based on Learning Science
Summit Learning was developed by Summit Public Schools over the course of 15 years, in partnership with nationally acclaimed learning scientists, researchers, and academics.
Every single element of Summit Learning is grounded in what science tells us about how students learn best - from our student outcomes, to the design choices we made in order to achieve those outcomes.
Examples of collaborations with nationally acclaimed learning scientists, researchers, and academics from institutions include the Harvard Center for Education Policy Research, the Buck Institute of Education, and the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, among others.
- This community of partners is exploring Summit Learning and adapting it to meet the specific needs of their individual classrooms and schools.
- Summit is committed to meeting the demand from schools and educators for the program.
