At Summit Academy Youngstown Elementary, we make every effort to ensure that all students’ receive an outstanding educational experience that can be comparable if not better than the regular public school setting. We want to make the best possible educational choices for every unique child that walks through our doors. The building culture is based around the 7 Habits of Happy Kids and The Leader in Me. Our goal is to allow each child to become a leader of their own lives, both academically and behaviorally. We focus a lot of attention on ensuring that positive reinforcement is used consistently and the students understand that every action has a reaction, both positive and negative. We support students in making better behavior choices for themselves in order to grow more academically through the use of Pride Points and our school store. Each week the students earn and calculate the number of positive Pride Points they have earned and can purchase fun items in the school store. We are passionate about what we do and hope you will choose us to be a part of your child’s academic journey!
