Summit Academy Alternative Learners - Middletown (District)

The first Summit Academy School opened in 1999 with 127 students, and has grown from one (1) school in Akron, Ohio, to eighteen (18) schools throughout the state of Ohio.. Summit Academy Schools were developed to serve the educational, emotional, and societal needs of students with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), and other special learning needs. Summit Academy School’s goals are guided by the belief that every child can learn when given the proper educational environment and academic support. Summit Academy Schools create an educational climate in which innovative methodologies, interventions, and activities are utilized to ensure not only that the child will graduate but that they will have developed the academic, technical, and social/interpersonal skills that will enable them to have a successful learning experience. All Summit Academy Schools are tuition-free, non-profit public community schools for learners seeking alternative environments. Our schools offer academics adapted to the individual student’s needs. SAM schools have a low student/teacher ratio and offer a unique Therapeutic Martial Arts program that focuses on building self-confidence, integrated social skills training, and teaching respect for self and others.

Summit Academy Schools design, develop, and deliver educational opportunities in a therapeutic environment so everyone can learn.
