What’s now known as the Summit Learning Program includes free use of the platform, summer training sessions for teachers and mentoring and technical support for teachers and school leaders throughout the school year. In exchange for the free services, partner schools are testing how the platform works in a variety of settings, adapting it to their needs and sharing their improvements. Summit Tahoma High, now located in south San Jose, was one of the new schools founded in 2012 to prepare students to direct their own learning. With 400 students, primarily from middle- and working-class Latino, white and Asian-American families, the school is housed in a cluster of gray portable classrooms next to Oak Grove High, part of the East Side Union High School District.
