Summit Wellness
Welcome to our Wellness and Well-being section, a cornerstone of our school's pillars. Here, we are dedicated to fostering an environment where every member of our community can thrive, both mentally and physically. Below, you will discover a wealth of resources and information about our year-round wellness sessions, designed to support and enhance the well-being of our students and staff.
Our annual highlight, the Wellness Summit held every March, brings our community together to explore and discuss topics that matter most to our students—many of which are suggested by the students themselves. This event is a testament to our commitment to listening and responding to the needs of our community.
In addition to detailed information about our wellness initiatives, you will find videos from past sessions, offering insights and strategies to enrich your own well-being journey.
Dive into our resources, and join us in building a healthier, more resilient community.
