Summit Academy is an initiative by a group of parents who believed in the "Personalized Education" project, which focuses on holistic education, addressing aspects such as physical, intellectual, emotional, social, and spiritual development. To achieve this, we offer various programs tailored to students' different learning paces and an Emotional Affection Development Project. The Association for Integral Education, a non-profit organization, is the promoter of this school.

What Makes Us Special
STUDENT-CENTERED LEARNING
At Summit Academy, every student counts for their uniqueness and individual potential. We believe that children should be considered for what they are and not for what they accomplish. We aim to help them thrive in being the best they can be as human beings. Teachers team up with each student and parents to work on their individual growth.
ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE
We implement innovative modern standards that are adjusted to the younger generations' learning capacities. As a new school, our teachers use the latest educational methods, which include hands-on and interactive learning, collaborative work and tech-based solutions, to motivate students' critical thinking. Our classrooms are designed to create an environment where students feel comfortable to be themselves and form part of a wider community. Our dedicated teachers are fully committed to comply with all subject courses as required by our State Department.
PARENTS' PRIMARY ROLE
The faculty works hand-in-hand with parents to meet the needs of each student and provide efficient support in their child's educational and personal development.
EDUCATION FOR HUMAN INTEGRITY
We strive for a healthy life balance for each student to help them become responsible leaders of their community. That's why we educate for the development of every human aspect: intellectual, spiritual, physical, social and emotional.
HUMAN VALUES & CATHOLIC IDENTITY
As part of our educational approach, we introduce students to important values that pave the journey towards their character building and spiritual growth. Although we respect every families' convictions, our School life is deeply rooted in the teachings of the Catholic faith on human dignity and the transcendental meaning of life.
Our Model:
Fomento de Centros de EnseñanzaAn educational institution launched in Spain by a group of parents and educators that founded schools in which families' collaboration is key for the education of their children. They believe that every child is unique and that there are other human aspects, besides intellectual, that need to be addressed in order for them to become future leaders.
Fomento designed a personalized educational method to promote the overall growth of their students. To present date, Fomento in Spain alone has 35 schools, more than 24k students, 16K families, 2.5K professionals and more than 85K alumni.
Summit Academy is the first school in Puerto Rico to implement Fomento's innovative approach. We receive guidance from the Institution throughout the year to successfully adapt their educational philosophy.
The Asociación para la Educación Integral, Inc. and its school –Summit Academy– admits students of any race, color, national origin, and ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the school. Nor does it discriminate on the basis of the above mentioned in administration of its educational policies, admission policies, scholarship and loan programs, and athletic and other school-administered programs.
