Upon visiting The Summit School, representatives from the Kathy & Jerry Wood Foundation were inspired by the school’s dedicated staff and enthusiastic students. In an effort to continue encouraging the development of promising young people, the Kathy and Jerry Wood Foundation made a donation to the school to help them in providing an environment to accommodate the special learning needs of their kids and giving them the skills to re-enter the mainstream school system.

The Summit School was founded in 1989 to “celebrate and educate bright students who learn differently.” Now, the Summit School continues to educate children with unique learning profiles to their full potential. Summit teachers rise to the challenge to find concrete, hands-on methods to teach higher level concepts – something that research validates as the way to educate students with learning differences.
