Summit Academy Graduation

Congratulations, Class of 2026!

At Summit Academy, every student's journey looks different. Regardless of how long they've been with us or what their path looked like, when a student meets their graduation requirements, we celebrate their hard work and resilience.

Many of our graduates have overcome real barriers in their personal and academic lives, so we treat graduation as a night of celebration that reflects the magnitude of that achievement. The highlight of our ceremony every year is a deliberate pause in the middle of the program for graduates to step into the crowd and give a hug or handshake to the family, friends, and staff who made a difference in their success.

Middle School Program 

(Grades 6-8)

Summit Academy’s Middle School Program supports students in grades 6–8 who are facing challenges with attendance, behavior, or school engagement. Designed as a longer-term alternative learning environment, the program offers increased structure, individualized support, and relationship-centered instruction to help students reconnect with their education, build emotional resilience, and gain the confidence to succeed both socially and academically.

With small class sizes and a dedicated team of educators and counselors, students receive personalized guidance and consistent support. Social-emotional learning (SEL) is woven into the daily schedule, while sensory and engagement tools are available to help students manage emotions, navigate conflict, and strengthen peer relationships.

As students make progress, they move through three levels—Blue, Gold, and Eagle—each designed to support growth in academics, behavior, and emotional regulation. Once students meet established goals, they begin the transition process back to their home school, prepared for long-term success.
