Our Partners in Student Support
At Summit Micro School, we believe that supporting the whole child means working as a team. While we are not a therapeutic environment, we collaborate closely with trusted professionals to ensure students receive consistent, thoughtful care.
Our community partnerships include organizations like Attuned Families, Works of Wonder, Ripple Effect Children’s Services, NEAC, and Humber College, as well as psychologists, therapists, and specialists already working with our families. These relationships help us create a cohesive, responsive support system—one that’s tailored to each student’s needs and rooted in collaboration.
It takes a village—and we’d love to welcome you into ours.
