Discovering Summit: Spotlight on Our Phys Ed Team

At Summit School, education extends well beyond the classroom — and our incredible Physical Education department is a perfect example. This week, we’re highlighting the outstanding work of Alyssa and the entire Phys Ed team, whose creativity and commitment ensure our students stay active, engaged, and supported.

From inclusive sports and movement games to fitness challenges tailored for neurodiverse learners, the Phys Ed team is constantly developing fun and rewarding ways for students to grow through physical activity. Their approach fosters not only physical health but also social skills, self-esteem, and academic focus.

Studies have shown that regular movement improves attention and learning outcomes — and thanks to the dedication of our educators, physical education continues to be a core pillar of the Summit experience.

We thank Alyssa and the entire department for their passion, innovation, and for bringing such dynamic energy into the lives of our students.
