Summit School is a non-classroom-based program for kindergarten through twelfth grade students in the Ojai Unified School District. Most of the work done by students, regardless of grade level, is through a home school and independent study model.
The goal of the school is to provide a flexible learning experience that meets the educational needs of each student. Instead of a one-size fits most experience, each student is provided an individualized instruction program with parent-teacher collaboration at the core.
While some families might choose a traditional textbook-based curriculum, others might choose a hybrid approach that also includes online learning. Still, others may choose a program that is based on special projects completed by students.
Students and parents meet with their Summit advisor teacher at least once every 20 days for 30 to 45 minutes to review assignments. Advisor teachers answer any questions and respond to any issues the students and parents may have.
Students enrolled in Summit School are offered enrichment classes twice a week through a partnership with Rock Tree Sky School and Ojai Unified School District. The classes are at no cost to students.
Summit School is the heart and future of the community.

This school is like none other. It's a small school but a very close community of students, parents, teachers and alumni. Summit has incredible student to teacher ratio, some kids will be working with an assistant while the other kids are working with the teacher. No where else can a teacher work wi...

I find that the teachers care what is going on with your child. the staff is very nice and helpful. the only drawback is that there isnt really a GATE program here running. Which for the kids that need the...

We moved to Ojai from the east coast this past summer. I researched schools online before choosing to send my son to Summit. It got a "10" rating from this site last time I checked, and it sure has lived up to its rating! (I'm not sure why it isn't rated right now.) My son is in first grade, having...
