SIS is a leader in technology that uses a blended learning approach to encourage all students to become independent learners. Our classrooms all use a similar lesson structure. Classes open with an engaging warm-up, a lesson introduction, an activity (hands-on/technology/movement), and a check for understanding. Our curriculum is resourced by the teachers and very few subjects use textbooks. In place of textbooks, we offer a nearly 1:1 Chromebook learning experience. Learning resources are mainly online through various learning platform memberships. SIS uses external and internal assessments and adaptive software to determine individualized learning paths for every Climber on Mount Summit.
All stakeholders are referred to as “Climbers”, and our goal every day is to climb higher every day. Ask any Climber, student, parent, or teacher, where he or she is going today, and you will hear an energetic and genuine “TO THE TOP!” Get on the rope with us. Let’s climb together.
