Inclusive Education for All

Special Education

Learning Supports

Special education at Summit Academy is based on an inclusion model. All scholars — regular and special education — take the same core academic classes and are held to the same behavioral and academic expectations as expressed in their IEP goals.

How We Support Every Scholar

1

Accommodations & Modifications

IEP-listed accommodations are implemented daily by all classroom teachers, ensuring every scholar has what they need to succeed.

2

Classroom Support from Learning Strategists

Learning Strategists provide in-class support across approximately two classes per day, working alongside content teachers.

3

Instructional Support from Learning Strategists

Scholars who need additional support receive out-of-class pull-out instruction from Learning Strategists in small group or individual settings.

Educating Every Child

This model is the ultimate manifestation of educating each child to the maximum extent appropriate in the school and classroom they would otherwise attend. Scholars with IEPs receive additional in-class and out-of-class support, accommodations, and modifications designed to help them meet their individual goals.
