The typical student we consider for Summit Preparatory School is experiencing difficulties with school, family, and often peers. Generally, this is a child who has done well in the past, and whose family has watched him or her struggle more and more with life demands, despite the obvious potential for meeting these expectations.  Often, the student has had little success in individual therapy, and may display a growing uncomfortable acceptance of "failing" in academic and emotional struggles.

The intent of our admissions process is to determine whether a particular child and family is a good "fit" for the type of treatment approach we offer, and to determine what they will contribute to our therapeutic community. Often times, families find it helpful to consult with an Educational Consultant to help direct them to appropriate types of programs.

The application process involves the following three steps:

1.  Completion of the Online Application for Admission.      

 

2.  Completion and submission by fax of the Signature Page.

  

3.  A detailed interview with our Admissions Department, either by phone or

       in person during a visit to our campus.

Please feel free to contact us for assistance with this process.
