Summit
Program

The Summit Program supports high school students working toward their future through adapted curriculum, vocational training, and real-world experiences.

A Different Kind of Learning

High school should be about more than just textbooks.

At NSM, learning happens everywhere – in classrooms, local businesses, the kitchen, and the community. Each day presents chances to build skills that matter to our students, from managing money to mastering a new work skill.

We encourage everyone to try new and exciting activities on a daily basis. Morning might start with a favorite subject, like art or science. Afternoons could mean joining friends for fitness, practicing life skills, or spending time learning about a local business. Schedules readily adapt to match student interests and energy levels.
