Summit Learning: An Exemplar Resource

  • "The Summit Learning Program started off as a small pilot at Summit Public Schools with only 19 schools in 2015. Today, it serves more than 380 schools, nearly 3,800 educators, and more than 72,000 students across the U.S. This community continues to grow - as does the team working in support of it. We believe the Program is ready to succeed as its own nonprofit organization, beginning in 2019-20 school year."


  • Who they are: "Summit Public Schools is a leading network of public schools that equips all students to lead a fulfilled life. It operates 11 schools in California and Washington and shares its personalized approach to teaching and learning - Summit Learning - with more than 380 schools across the country for free. Summit Learning forms the foundation on which Summit's successful schools were built, with its schools consistently ranking among the best in the nation. Historically, 99 percent of its graduates are accepted into at least one four-year college and complete college at double the national average."
