WE BELIEVE…

We believe every child deserves to learn and thrive without labels or limits.

We believe that our therapeutic approach to education allows for the greatest opportunities for success.

We believe in changing lives and restoring hope.

The reason I chose Summit Academy is at my original school the teachers and students called me stupid.  My grades started to fall and their insults increased.  When I came to Summit Academy all the teachers were kind and so were the students.  I personally felt safe and I still do thanks to the teachers and the rest of the staff. I hope that I c… Read more

We live in Liberty Twp., just north of Cincinnati, and have two school-age boys. Our eldest, Chris, thrives in the Lakota school system (Liberty Elementary, Liberty Junior, LEHS). He is a 15-year-old sophomore, and is at this moment in San Diego as part of the Lakota East Marching band that will play in the pregame parade and half-time show of the … Read more

I love working at Summit Academy.  It is the only job I have ever had in which I look forward to coming in every day.  Summit has allowed me to experience all types of kids.  Each kid is special in their own way and you can tell that Summit is helping them all to become better people.  Summit is a true family that you cannot find at just any sc… Read more

I truly believe every teacher has a strong desire to see the students succeed not only in the classroom, but in all areas of life.  The administration’s lead and care for the teachers is another reason that Summit Academy is a great place to work.  If there is a need in the classroom, the administration will do all things possible to make that … Read more

I came to Summit because no other schools were good and I wasn’t learning anything.  Summit makes it easy to learn things I couldn’t understand before and I’ve made awesome friends here too.  This is the best school I’ve ever been to in my entire life.  I don’t ever want to change schools again … until college comes.

I work at Summit Academy because I have the opportunity to work with kids and families who really need the guidance and leadership of teachers who have Summit’s mission as an educational necessity.  Every day brings new challenges and new successes for students who have been denied the opportunity to thrive at school in the traditional education… Read more

Summit Academy is the best because my kids have gone to other schools but this is the first time that I can see my kids so happy and smiling and that makes me so happy. All the teachers are very kind and they help the kids that don’t understand. The secretary and principal are so nice, kind, and lovely and they are smiling all the time. I like Su… Read more

You don’t know how much I appreciate how accommodating you all are at Summit! As a parent of a special needs child, I’m so used to fighting to get what my child needs. I never get that at Summit and it’s just wonderful! Thank you so much for doing such a great job! Read more
Jennifer (Middletown Secondary Mom)
A long, long time ago in a far and distant land, little boys and girls did not follow on the task at hand. Some parents pulled their hair until it came out. Some parents got so mad they’d scream and yell and shout! Most kids just stared and some just ran around. But when Mr. DiMezza saw this there was a smile, not a frown. He said, “All they ne… Read more
A Poem by Kyle
Sensei, I just finished a long day of work with Summit (til 7:30), followed by spending time with my kids afterwards. I just wanted to let you know that I enrolled my son in the 8th grade program in Canton, where I now work for the high school program. It is a new experience for me to see that everyone my son has had contact with, specifically hi… Read more
