What if every student graduated high school fully prepared to take their next step toward a fulfilled life? At Summit Public Schools, our mission is to collectively prepare a diverse community of young people with the skills, knowledge, and habits to attain economic empowerment and success in a chosen, concrete next step toward a fulfilled life.

Summit is a leading network of public schools serving over 3,300 students across 10 schools in the Bay Area and Washington state. We are committed to ensuring that every student graduates ready to pursue a future of purpose and opportunity. In 2025, 99% of our graduates were accepted to a four‑year college, and Summit alumni continue to persist in and complete college at 2 times the national average.

We are looking for exceptional, mission‑driven educators who reflect the diversity of our students and are passionate about preparing young people for meaningful, empowered futures. Join us!

Summit’s research‑backed model makes teaching and learning at a Summit school unlike any other. At Summit, teachers mentor the same group of students each year in advisory groups, which allows them to build strong relationships based on deep trust over multiple years. Mentors meet 1:1 with each student regularly to coach students toward their personal goals, and meet daily as a mentor group.

During Project Time, teachers teach universal skills through real‑world deep learning projects, using their subject‑area expertise to help students apply their knowledge to the world around them. Through our research‑backed curriculum, Summit gives teachers the tools they need so that they can focus on teaching and become the best deep learning (i.e., project‑based) teachers in the world.

We are deeply committed to continuous improvement at Summit, both as an organization and for our individual faculty. With dedicated days of professional development built into the academic year, regular coaching sessions with a school leader, and a culture of honest, actionable, and timely feedback, we equip our teachers with the tools necessary to improve their practice and tackle challenging issues.

We also prioritize developing leaders from within and have invested in multiple career pathway programs for our teachers and school leaders.

Summit has intensive collaboration structures built into our weekly schedules. Teachers collaborate at the grade and subject levels, forming regular communities of practice to support each other in continuously improving as deep learning teachers and mentors.

By design, our schools are small communities where every student is known. They are intentionally heterogeneous and reflect the diversity of the communities in which we operate. As a teacher, this will require being culturally responsive and creating equitable learning pathways for all students.

• See sample teacher schedules here. A student school day is around 8–8:30 am to 3–3:30 pm, depending on the specific school. Teachers' days shall begin no earlier than 8:00 am and end no later than 5:00 pm on any given workday.
• Project Time:
  Teach 90‑minute blocks in high school or four 55‑minute blocks in middle school, per day of project time. Most teachers teach one course for the entire grade (e.g. 9th Grade Biology), and see each section twice per week. Teachers offer students deep learning experiences that develop cognitive skills and apply their content knowledge to real‑world situations. Teachers facilitate discussions in the classroom, coach students in applying their cognitive skills, and give students feedback.
  
  Between teaching blocks, teachers analyze student data, build lesson plans, support school culture, and other personal development activities. Summit teachers build lesson plans through a deep understanding of student progress data, which determines the group and individual supports needed for their students to succeed.
