Summit Learning
The pedagogy employed at Summit schools, dubbed "Summit Learning," is a personalized, project-based learning (PBL) curriculum that puts students "in charge" of their own learning.

Courses are built around projects done at students' own paces instead of traditional coursework modules, and teachers focus their energy on tutoring individual students as many grading functions are automated.
