The teachers at Summit are caring and understanding of students’ needs.

Summit Academy has literally been a life changer for Collan and our family …When we found Summit right before his freshman year, we found an environment of acceptance and accommodation, along with sincerity and love from the teachers and staff.  Collan not only improved … he soared, experienced success, and came out at the top as salutatorian. He also gained true friendships … We are eternally grateful for our time with Summit, which completely changed the trajectory for Collan's future.

This school has truly been God sent! This school/staff has helped my son find his love and passion for learning and going to school again. He’s excited to see his classmates and to go into school because he doesn’t have to worry about being picked on or bullied. He knows that he’s cared for and that his feelings matter ... Now I can’t keep him away from school. He’s even asked me to call on the weekend. Thank you, Summit Academy, for being our well-kept secret and always having a heart for the little people.

I just wanted to say thank you all so much for helping my daughter. This has been her best year yet. We appreciate the support so much from all of you. I wish I had better words to express our gratitude for your patience and kindness. You have helped foster kindness and understanding ...

The staff and teachers of Summit Academy are fantastic. My daughter loves attending school there. I so appreciate how they work with her needs. We couldn't ask for a more supportive environment!

Since my son has been at Summit Academy he has improved with his people skills. He has grown and learned valuable life lessons from all of his teachers and mentors. I am happy I chose Summit Academy.

I wish that the teachers ... knew just how much of an impact they’ve had. These men and women who have been called to be teacher[s] and staff there are the closest I feel I will ever get to being in the presence of a TRUE super HERO!!!

I always recommend this school to everybody…The classes are much smaller and the teachers have patience in working with the students.

“

I like the teachers. They’re really supportive. When you have a problem, you can always go to someone who will help you out.

“

This is about a community working to make sure these kids are getting everything they need in terms of support and wraparound, restorative practices …It’s about intervening and providing opportunities that teach children that they can be successful.

Summit Academy provided [my son] a safe learning environment to grow. He learned to respect others and be a productive young man.

I love the teachers. Avery loves the teachers. The students are all very nice. It’s also diverse, which I like. The classrooms are smaller with two teachers at a time.

Teachers, Principal and Staff, I wanted to write and tell you how awesome graduation day was. You made it so special. Thank you so much for all your support and guidance. You all went over and above to make my graduation special. I will never forget you. You are all like part of my family. Thank you again and God Bless you.

The most unique thing about our school is that it is more like a family. It isn’t a rigid traditional high school. It’s very individualized to meet each student’s needs and every day is different.

I am so proud of the hard work of the staff at Summit Academy Lorain Elementary. My kids are so blessed to have the staff. They build confidence more than anything and with that comes success.

“

We adapt and we see a lot of growth. It’s like paints. Pick one that works, and use it.

The staff at Summit is amazing! I cannot overstate how great they are with our child and all the children there. An amazing job was done communicating and collaborating with parents, especially during the crazy, pandemic school year. A+++

Love this school and staff... My children and grandson love this school .... They are great knowing how to deal with each child's unique need ....great communication between families and staff .... If there was any issue it was always handled quickly and appropriately..... I always felt very involved and knew what was going on with my kids.

The staff and teachers are absolutely wonderful! They took my sweet girl who struggles and hated school to a successful, flourishing student who loves school.
