Mission
Summits Education believes that access to quality education is a human right. At Summits, we build education systems to transform the world's most vulnerable communities. We start by investing in teachers. In Haiti's Central Plateau, Summits operates a network of 40 primary schools serving nearly 10,000 students and is building a world class teacher training center and secondary school. Summits provides curriculum support, fair and consistent teacher compensation, and ongoing training for the teachers and administrators in the primary school network. Summits partners with communities, government, and other organizations to address additional aspects of a holistic education including nutrition, WaSH programs, and health & well-being.
