Curriculum
The specialized Summit Point Program curriculum incorporates the application of multiple intelligence strategies proven to produce results. An individual curriculum is developed to address each student's learning style, ability level, and requirements.
The Summit Point Program begins with an extensive student assessment – both formal and informal. By utilizing diagnostic assessment tools, standardized testing results, and anecdotal observations an Individual Educational Plan is developed and used to carefully craft a teaching approach designed to meet each individual's identified educational needs. Then, each student's Academy Program is regularly reviewed during the year to ensure that needed skill remediation is taking place while the student continues to be challenged – using a combination of services designed to maximize academic growth. Supported by our Academic Mastery Program, our Summit Point students are guided as they achieve their academic requirements.
