This is the question that guides our mission at Summit Public Schools. Summit is a leading network of public schools that prepare a diverse student population for success in a four-year college and to be thoughtful, contributing members of society.

We operate 14 schools serving over 4,500 students in the Bay Area and Washington state. 100% of Summit graduates are college ready and Summit graduates complete college at double the national average. We need exceptional, diverse, and mission-aligned teachers to join our team to help prepare our students for a fulfilled life.

Join us. The Summit Model Summit's research-backed model makes teaching and learning at a Summit school unlike any other. At Summit, our teachers mentor the same group of students each year in advisory groups, which allows them to build strong relationships based on deep trust over multiple years.

Mentors meet 1:1 with each student regularly to coach students toward their personal goals, and meet daily as a mentor group. During Project Time, teachers teach universal skills through real-world projects - using their subject-area expertise to help students apply their knowledge to the world around them. Through our research-backed curriculum, Summit gives teachers the tools they need so that they can focus on teaching and becoming the best project-based teachers in the world.
