Summit College - Kitchener

Teaching Philosophy

Summit College is a unique career college which embraces the notion that we are all individuals. The Summit Method is a company-wide approach that encourages each individual to reach his or her personal power to succeed. To put the theory into practice, we: Address the needs of the whole person by using strategies that help students realize both educational and life goals. Recognize and respect life challenges. Adult students often experience trepidation about learning and starting on new career paths. Customize the learning process for each student with unique strategies that fit different learning styles. Teach self-management skills that propel students toward success in employment and in life. Shift students' belief level by instilling in them a success-is-possible mindset. The Summit Method "stretches the bell curve": students' attitudes improve, confidence rises, and employment prospects open wide.
