What is Summit Academy? Summit Academy is a small, private, and therapeutic special education day school. We currently have a total of 25 students in our school, ranging from K through 12th grade. Our student population has diagnoses of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), as well as other related diagnoses. Our school focuses on academics and increasing appropriate social skills while decreasing challenging behaviors. Our school is an incredibly small community and becomes more like a big family than a group of co-workers. We treasure and value one another and enjoy learning from each other's strengths and skill sets as we work together as a team. Who are we looking for?
