Tutoring Services, SAT & FCAT Preparation, Plantation, FL

We will be conducting our 4th "FCAT Boot Camp" starting March 19th. Please call the office for more details.

Many of our school districts are still out on holiday break and will be back either this week or next. Our corporate office remained opened throughout the break as we continue our strategic planning for 2012. We hope to have some major announcements in the next few months.

Summit Learning Services would like to wish each and every person involved with the company a safe and happy holiday.

The year 2011 was kind to us. Company revenue for 2011 will nearly double as compared to 2010. This has been the trend for each and every year since our beginning in 2007.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to CM. We are all wishing you a speedy recovery.

Off and running! The NCLB/SES season has started and the long hours mixed with stress and excitement is upon us. Summit Learning Services hopes to increase the number of students tutored this year as compared to last year. Best of luck to everyone.

Congratulations to Ed Cwieka/VP on his nomination to the 2011 Entrepreneur Awards sponsored by the South Florida Business Journal. Ed was nominated in 2 categories, Owners of Companies with 1-10 million dollars in revenue and Serial Entrepreneur. Though Ed & Summit did not make the final 4 companies selected as finalists, we are still proud of his accomplishments.

Our new South Dade location is almost complete. It is located in the Publix Shopping Plaza at 9620 SW 160th St. Palmetto Bay, Fl 33157.

Summit will be in Tennessee starting in the 2011-2012 school years providing NCLB/SES tutoring.

Add Ohio to the growing list of states where we will be providing NCLB/SES tutoring in the fall.

Louisiana will be another new state where we will be providing NCLB/SES tutoring beginning this fall. As with New Jersey, we hope to open a mix of franchise and corporate owned locations.

Our 2nd S. Florida, corporate owned location will be opening in late July. The fully equipped learning center is located in S. Dade County on Colonial Dr and US1 in the Publix Shopping Plaza. Thanks to GR and JR for their continued support.

Summit is looking forward to providing NCLB/SES tutoring to New Jersey for the 2011-2012 school years. Our goal is to set up a mixture of franchise and company owned locations.

Summer Camp dates will be announced next week. Please call the office for details.

Summit's corporate office is starting to prepare for our annual "FCAT Boot Camp." Please call the office for details.

Happy New Year! We surpassed almost every goal set for 2010. As always, thanks to a great group of people associated with us on so many levels (you know who you are!).

A special, yet belated thanks goes out to Elliot and staff at Signature Franchising. Signature was instrumental in preparing Summit to become "franchise ready." We advise any company ready to take the leap into the exciting world of franchising to contact Elliot at www.SignatureFranchising.com

Entreprenuer Magazine (Dec 2010) has named Summit Learning Services one of their "Hot Franchises" for 2011. We will soon be offering franchises in 35 states starting in January.

NCLB/SES tutoring has started and another season of excitement and education begins! Best of luck to each and every franchise and company owned location.

Our 30th location will be opening this week in Virginia. This has been an exciting time full of challenges and growth. Our real challenge has yet to come as we begin to coordinate the operational and management issues of our units. So far, so good!

Please look for our Summit "Saturday Morning Classes" which will be held from 9am-12 noon each and every Saturday at our corporate office. This 3 hour class will be available for students in grades K-8 and will focus on reading and math. Class size will not exceed 10 students and we have instituted an affordable "pay as you go" policy of $99 per Saturday class. As always, all classes will be conducted by Broward's finest classroom teachers. Please call the office for more details.

We would like to welcome our new Denver area franchisee who will be starting this week. Best of of luck this year and welcome to the Summit family!

Our last state NCLB/SES state application is finished. North Carolina will be our 12th and final new state we will serve in 2010-2011.

We have heard nice things about North Carolina. The Summit team cannot wait to start working there! Hopefully, next year we will be able to say Summit is approved to provide NCLB/SES in every state.

Summer Camp "B" is in full swing and our students are working hard to keep their skills in place during the summer break. As always, we are so proud of our incredible group of teachers, Amy L, Michael L, Jeanee T, Wanda L, and Karina R. Thanks to all our parents to who invested the time and money to keep their kids brains "wheels turning."

Texas here we come! Another passing score for our team of NCLB/SES writers. We are also glad to welcome our new Houston based franchise unit. Time is running out and we will not have the time to reach our goal of 15 states...but, we will be in 12 new states starting in the 2010-2011 school year.

Entrepreneur Magazine (September) will be a special "New & Innovative Franchise Concepts" edition. Summit will be featured under their "hot, new franchises" section. As always, thanks to AF and DF. We could not have done it without you.

The passing NCLB/SES applications keep coming! Iowa is known for their corn but soon they will also be known as another state for Summit Learning Services to provide quality tutoring in. Congratulations to our hardworking team of grant writers.

We can add another state to our growing list of NCLB/SES passing applications. Summit will be honored to serve the students of the great state of West Virginia beginning in the 2010-2011 school year. We look forward to providing the best possible services available in our industry.

On a different note from our corporate state of Florida, FCAT scores came out today and I think everyone is anxious to hear the results.

Summit has just opened 2 new company owned locations, one in Lee/Collier counties and another which will cover Indian River and St. Lucie counties.

Summer Camp A is half over. Boy, does time go by fast! Before we know it...school will be starting again. It seems like summer is never long enough.

Summer Camp has started and we could not be happier. Every year we are amazed at the parents who choose to not only keep their children active in sports and physical activities, but also keep their minds enriched as well. What an awesome combination!

We are happy to announce our acceptance in the NCLB/SES program in Georgia, South Carolina, Missouri and Indiana. We should have more states to report in the next week or so.

Please don't forget about our 3rd annual Summer "Reading, Math & Writing camp. Our morning classes are starting to sell out so call the office and reserve your seat. We expect another sold out camp.

We are proud to announce our plans to service the students in the state of Colorado in the No Child Left Behind program starting in the 2010-2011 school year. We have already started our franchise sales process.

Summit Learning Services was proud to attend the Education Industry Association (EIA) convention in Washington D.C. from Feb 23-26. There were some excellent topics and speakers who are directly involved in the NCLB/SES industry as well as members of Congress and state Education Directors. It was 3 days full of information and discussion concerning the future of NCLB/SES. Congratulations to Steve Pines and staff for all their hard work in coordinating the event. It was top notch from start to finish.

Our No Child Left Behind program is starting to wind down in most counties but we still have a way to go. Our group of students this year have been great and their parents extremely supportive.

Another year gone by. The time seem to pass by so quickly. We are very fortunate at Summit, given the economic times we are in. There is not a single day that passes when we don't think about our positive growth but, also the vast number of people who are out of work and struggling to make ends meet. Our thoughts and prayers go out to everyone who is experiencing hardship.

We are off and running in Virginia! This is an exciting time for everyone involved with Summit. In addition, we are currently writing (or will be in the next few weeks) applications to provide No Child Left Behind Services in these states starting in the 2010-2011 school year; Georgia, Indiana ,South Carolina, Mississippi, Colorado, W. Virginia, Montana, Tennessee, Missouri, Nevada, North Carolina, Iowa and Texas. Our team of talented grant writers are putting in long hours to make sure we receive top scores.

Summit Learning Services has been approved to provide No Child Left Behind tutoring services in Virginia. We look forward to working in Virginia and developing franchised centers to support our operations.

We have been pleased with the turnout so far for our NCLB classes at our main office in Plantation. On a given day, we tutor up to 50 students. Luckily, our new learning center has a lot of space!

We will be making an announcement in the next couple weeks regarding our application process to provide NCLB in 12-15 other states starting in the 2010-2011 school year.

Also, all of our offices throughout the state will report a profit in their 1st year in business........several of them will end up with high levels of sales and profit dollars. Congratulations!

No Child Left Behind begins! We will be tutoring over 1300 students this year. Best of luck to all our educators and students as they make strides in their academic journey.

School is in gear and our No Child Left Behind program is almost ready to begin. Please call the office for details.

All of our new partners of Summit units are in place and ready to go. We feel we have selected a talented group of educators who are now ready to take on a new role.....owning and operating their own Summit Learning Services center. Overall, we have 26 new partners and 15 locations. Our enhanced website will be up and running soon to provide links to each location.

The end of Summer Camp "B" and another great pizza party! Best of luck to all the students who attended our camps. We hope the extra help our skilled group of educators gave you will benefit you during the school year.

Summer Camp "B" continues to go well. We have 3 different class times every day and are so happy to be able to reach this amount of students.

The start of Summer Camp "B" Our turnout was much greater than we expected especially when economic times are so tight. A big welcome to our great staff of teachers, Jeanee T, Wanda L, Simone L, Jennifer R, and Carlos C. We also were so glad to be able to give away scholarships to 5 students this summer.

Thanks to all who attended our Summer Camp "A" We had a nice turnout and are looking forward to Camp "B" which will start July 20. Thanks to our wonderful Camp "A" teachers, Jeanee T, Amy L, Jane S, Ileana N, and Wanda L.

Our new Desoto, Highlands, Hardee, and Okeechobee county office will be opening at the end of the month. Everyone is excited and will soon be ready to go.

We are proud to announce the opening our of 2 new Dade county offices, 1 Jacksonville, Putman, St Johns & Clay county offices, 1 Orlando office, 2 new Broward locations and also our 2 new Palm Beach county offices. We are in full swing with training and set ups. Welcome to the Summit family!

The start of summer camp! Time has gone by so fast. It is hard to believe this is our 3rd annual summer learning camp. We have a nice turnout and some of the best teachers from the Broward county public school system. We still have space available in for our Summer "B" camp. Call the office for details.

We are pleased to announce our move to 6955 W. Broward Blvd. (Publix Shopping Plaza). Our new center is over 3500 square feet and will allow us to expand our company and still stay in the Plantation area. We will begin operations at our new location on June 15.

School is almost out......I know everyone is excited and looking forward to a nice summer break! Our summer camp is starting to fill up. Don't delay...call today and reserve your child's seat.

We are excited about our first 5 units sold this month. We hope to have many more to come. Few things in life are as important as the education and development of our students. Congratulations to the newest members of the Summit Learning Services family.

Our 2nd annual summer "Reading, Math & Writing" camp is almost 2 months away. To our parents who have struggled through these difficult times...our thoughts and prayers go out to you. We hope things will improve soon for everyone. Money is tight....but, nothing is quite as important to our children as keeping their reading, math and writing skills in top shape. Our affordable camp will allow you to do it.

It is hard to open up a newspaper and not read something about education and/or the public school system. Broward County teachers will not be receiving raises for the next year or two. Summit Learning Services has always been a champion of the hardworking men and women who teach our children. You are our heroes. Our company is developing ways for you to earn extra money to augment your classroom pay. Please contact the office for additional information.

Our Dade, Broward and Palm Beach NCLB/SES classes are starting to wind down. If everything moves ahead as scheduled, we will hopefully be providing NCLB/SES services throughout the entire state of Florida in the 2009-2010 school year. We will be looking for state certified teachers throughout Florida who would like to join us and make a difference in the lives of deserving students.

FCAT Boot Camp continues to move along. Thanks to our teachers, Jeanee O. Amy L. Wanda L. and Cindy L. You guys are incredible!!

First day of FCAT Boot Camp!! Good luck to all students who enrolled. We look forward to the next 4 weeks. Also, thank you to the Sun Sentinel for coming out and doing the story on us for their Monday Business section. We were so happy and proud of the job they did.

There are many things in this industry that remind us how truly blessed we are to be part of it. The greatest sense of satisfaction we receive is when a student makes progress towards a goal that has been set. Bridget of Driftwood Middle School is a wonderful example of how hard work and persistence pays off. In the 4 months that she has received tutoring through Summit, Bridget has shown tremendous growth in all academic areas, especially math. We are very proud of her!

Our FCAT "Boot Camp" is starting to fill up. Please call the office for registration instructions.

Happy New Year!! Summit would like to take this time to congratulate Carlos Campos as our December "Educator of the Month." Carlos has a full load of Summit students as well as his classroom duties at South Broward High. Carlos is our "ace in the hole" when it comes to math tutoring. He is well versed in all areas of math. Congratulations Carlos!

As 2008 comes to a close, we enjoy taking the time to look back at the year. Typically, we expect to experience "3 steps forward and 2 steps back" and would always chalk that up to a successful year. In 2008, we took 4 steps forward and 1 step back. The NCLB/SES program has been quite an adventure. We learned a lot (and continue to learn more each and every day). We value our acceptance into the program and continue to make improvements. The parents of the students we tutor in the SES program have been great. They truely are concerned about their child's education and have taken the steps to make a difference. Thanks to all of you. We are proud to announce 2 new classes forming in the next month or so. The 1st class will be our 2nd annual "FCAT Boot Camp." We sold out last year and hope to have the same amount of students this year. Our 2nd class will be tutoring services for those students who have completed their SES hours. These affordable classes will allow parents to continue to keep their chid's mind enriched now that they have used their allocated SES hours. Please call the office for details on both of these classes. We will be adding the class particulars on our website in the next few weeks.

Summit Learning Services is proud to announce Mary Faulkner as our November "Educator of the Month". Mary is our lead teacher and contact professional at one of our Broward schools receiving NCLB services. Mary has done an incredible job (with the expert help of her husband, Kade). Congratulations Mary and thanks for all your efforts.

Summit Learning Services is proud to announce Amy Lund NBCT as our October "Educator of the Month." Amy not only keeps busy with her class at Oakland Park Elementary, she tutors several students, both in our private division as well as the No Child Left Behind/SES program at Summit. She is always receptive to filling in if another tutor is unable to teach and always keeps an upbeat and positive approach to teaching. We are proud to have Amy with us.

We hope everyone makes an effort to go out and vote. This is such a critical time in our country. Your vote counts........

We are now in full swing with our leased schools and teachers. Currently, several dozen teachers are working every day in all 3 counties. We are also so pleased with the amount of SES students who have elected to be tutored at our learning center.

Our 1st SES student was tutored today! This incredible milestone reflects many months of preparation and hard work.

Almost all our curriculum has arrived. We have chosen some of the very best materials available.

A special thanks to the Title 1 schools who have opened up their hearts to our company. Though we are a 1st year SES provider, our Dade, Broward and Palm Beach county Title schools have been just great.

What an experience this has been in NCLB/SES....both good and bad...(mostly very good!!). We have over 75 teachers hired and ready to go.

The set up procedures for NCLB/SES continue to require 80 hour work weeks. We have hired so many new teachers to supplement the crew of educators who already have worked with us in the past. We still need so many more. So far, we have hired 30 new educators to add to our already hired list of 25.

Summit has been fortunate to sign leases with area schools so that NCLB/SES tutoring services can be held directly at the school in which the student attends. With over 300 schools and 22,000 students eligible in the tri county area......the challenge can be daunting. The countdown to the day when actual services will begin is only weeks away.

More NCLB/SES meetings!! 24 hours in a day does not seem to be enough. We are making strides everyday but there is so much information to cover. Exciting but stressful!!

Last day of Camp "B".....this was our best learning camp so far. Thanks to our hardworking students, dedicated parents and incredible staff for making this camp such a success. We are going to miss everyone involved.

Two more weeks until most schools will be starting. We hope everyone had a nice break and are looking forward to the 2008-2009 school year.

We have hired several Florida certified educators so far for our NCLB/SES program in Dade and Broward. We are still needing hundreds more (especially in Palm Beach county). Some key managment positions are very much needed in all counties.

Our 24hr call center is in place. Now, you can contact a Summit representative at any and time of the day or night. For management personnel looking to make a change.......the time to join us could not be better.

Camp "B" has been quite an adventure so far. Our t-shirt company has finally finished our shirts and we have had a couple of snafus with our curriculum. As hard as one tries.....bumps in the road will always occur. Regardless...when Camp "B" finishes in 2-3 weeks....our camps will have had over 140 seats filled.

We continue to interview candidates for positions in our NCLB/SES program. Please contact us if you are interested. From staff tutor positions..to key management personnel...if you are a passionate Florida certified educator..and live in Dade, Broward, Palm Beach or Martin counties.....chances are we will have a position for you. We are developing a sign on bonus and other incentives to drive our recruitment efforts.

Our meetings with the 4 counties we were accepted into SES/NCLB continue to move forward. We will be hiring several hundred teachers in those districts to assist us. We are also looking to hire area directors and school team leaders. If you are a Florida certified educator..and have the passion and drive to make a difference.....we want to hear from you. We will offer weekly pay....the highest hourly rate in the area.....and the opportunity to join the fastest growing learning services company in South Florida.

Our Summer Camp "B" is 98% sold out. We still have a couple afternoon & night slots available. Call the office for details. We would like to welcome our Camp "B" teachers. As always they are some of Broward's best public school educators. A warm welcome to returning teachers from Camp "A"..Kim B, Riva T, Lara O & Jeanee T. New teachers joining us for Camp "B" include Nicole C, Ileana N, Carlos C and Bleidy I.

Happy 4th of July. Our end of Camp "A" party was a delight. We had a great turnout and can't wait for Camp "B" to start.

We continue to be amazed at the turnout for our Summer "A" camp and for the increased enrollment in our Summer "B" camp. Our numbers this year easily exceeded last years camp. As reported in previous Summit Scroll entries, the amazing part of all this is even though the price of gas is much higher and the economy as a whole is much worse than last year....the parents of our kids decided to make the investment.......the investment to improve the academic standards of their children. We can't think of a better investment.

The SES/NCLB Summit in Orlando was an informative event where we had a chance to meet with several providers and districts involved with the process. We are looking forward to finishing up the legalities with each district and getting started!

We are starting to see some wonderful improvements in our students...even in the 1st week of camp. Some children are beginning to acquire skills they may not have had gained during the school year. The staff is beginning much needed intervention for several of our students.

The first week of our camp went incredibly well! As I have stated in prior writings, the level of enrollment and enthusiasm is amazing. We never expected it but are extremely pleased so far.

The first day of camp! We are ready to go! Our Camp "A" group of teachers are some of Broward's finest. A big welcome to Kim B. Amy L. Riva T. Karen C. Rona S. Lara O. and as always, Jeanee T.

We continue to be pleased with the number of slots we have filled for our Summer "Reading, Math & Writing" camp. We are well over 100 slots filled so far and growing every day!

Our summer camp hiring process is almost complete. We have had the opportunity to interview some the Broward's best educators. We should have everything finished by next week.

Summit Learning Services was named elementary school "Partner of the Year" by the Broward County School Board. Jeanee Thompson/President attended the event at the Broward County Convention Center and received a beautiful glass award for her efforts.

Thanks to Ms. Moodliyar and her wonderful staff at Griffin Elementary for nominating Summit. It has been a pleasure working with them.

Summer camp pre-paid discounts will expire in a few days. This is the time to register and save $$. Hurry and call today!

We can tell everyone is ready for the school year to end. From our students and teachers, to the schools we visit.....only a few more weeks left. We are counting down the days with you!

We are so pleased with the response to our Summer "Reading, Math & Writing" camp. Enrollment is up well over 75% compared to the same period last year. Kudos to the parents of our students. Even though the price of gas is nearing $4.00/gallon and the economy is in a slump, you have made the decision to keep your child's minds enriched during the summer months.

Summit Learning Services is proud to announce our selection as an SES provider under the No Child Left Behind program for the 2008-2009 school year. Our company has been selected to provide services in Dade, Broward, Palm Beach and Martin counties. We will be working full force in all of these counties and hope to provide much needed tutoring to thousands of deserving students. A big thanks goes out to Jeanee Thompson M.Ed and Ed Cwieka for all their hard work in securing this contract.

As the school year continues to wind down and the end is in site.....we want to continue to thank those who have made this such an incredible year.

Summit was extremely fortunate to partner with 4 incredible schools this year. A special thanks to Manatee Bay, Griffin, Gator Run and Tropical. Our staff were always greated with open arms when we visit our partner schools. We are looking forward to some fun events with all of them in May.

Thanks to all the schools who are helping us spread the word about our summer learning camp. We have received calls from private schools who will accept our camp as summer school credit for their student's who attend.

The United States ranks way down on the list of industrialized countries regarding the number of days in which children must attend school. Some new charter school projects are even requiring students to attend school year round. We feel children should have fun during the summer break. But, studies have shown children forget 25% of what they learn during the school year on summer break. We feel our camp is the perfect answer. For 3 hours a day, our students can keep their minds enriched. They have the rest of the day to enjoy the time off.

On a different note, we hope to hear back from the Florida Dept. of Education regarding our application for the No Child Left Behind program for the 2008-2009 school year. The NCLB program continues to evolve and improve each year. We hope we are chosen to participate and should know the outcome in a couple weeks.

As spring break ends and the countdown begins until the school year is finished, we can start to look back at the year and thank those who made a difference. The staff at Summit has such great respect for the public and private school teachers who continue to do an incredible job each and every day. Faced with budget cutbacks and often against all odds, your passion and commitment combined with your background and training continues to shine.

Many of our competitors believe you are not doing a good enough job. They feel they can take a non-educator....give them 8 hours of training and provide children a higher quality education. Our staff, investors, employees of our school system, and parents who attend our centers know better. There needs to be some adjustments. Regardless, the teachers who work with our kids are heroes.

Kids need heroes. They need adults who can teach them and keep them on the right path so that they are able to make good decisions. Summit Learning Services will continue to support the incredible teachers working in our schools. Thanks to all of you!

We are so pleased with the enrollment for our summer "Reading, Math & Writing" camp. Last year we had close to 100 students. This year we hope to double that figure by utilizing additional space and adding more grades (this year we will enrolling students from 1st-9th grades).

Our camp is the finest summer learning camp available (ok...we are a little biased!!). We have already ordered our curriculum (top notch!) and we are starting to get our teacher staffing schedules completed. This camp will be even better than last year! Please call our office asap and take advantage of our early pre-paid discounts.

Summit Learning Services would like to congratulate Vera P. as our March teacher of the month. Vera is an honors chemistry teacher at a local high school and tutors several students for Summit. Vera is a personable and extremely effective educator. Congrats again Vera and thank you for your efforts.

Congratulations to all our students who completed their FCAT testing. We know you did the very best you could and hopefully the work you put in at Summit paid off. Some of you are already on Spring Break and others will be very soon. Enjoy your time off and have fun.

Our 2nd annual Summer "Reading, Math & Writing" Camp has already started to fill up. The summer months should be fun for all students but parents...please don't forget to keep their minds enriched as well. Our camp is the perfect solution! We are offering pre-paid discounts now! Call the office for details.

We would like to thank each and every parent (and students) who attended our FCAT camp. We were very close to being completely full. Our awards ceremony and pizza party were held on March 7 & 8th. Everyone who attended seemed to enjoy themselves. We invite everyone back for our Summer "Reading, Math & Writing" camp.

Summit Learning Services would like to share a very special story about our December student of the month, Billy G. Not only has Billy made incredible strides in his school work....he has also demonstrated something very special......character. Billy was at school the other day and found a $20 bill on the cafeteria floor. Instead of keeping it...he notified the front office and turned the money in. The school was so proud of him they made a special announcement for everyone to hear. That was an incredible act of character Billy. Your school.....and everyone at Summit are very proud of you.

FCAT testing has already started for some Broward students. Other students will begin testing in less than a month. Best of luck to everyone!

Our FCAT camp is in full swing. We had the opportunity to award full paid scholarships to 5 wonderful students. Thanks to our great staff of teachers, Kim B, Jamie B, Jeanee T and Amy L.

February 8, 2008

We would like to welcome some of our new teachers to the Summit family. Carlos C, Vera P, and Veronica C. Also, Maggie S. is back with us from last year. Summit Learning Services is extremely fortunate to have these top notch educators working with us.

Our FCAT camp classes are almost full. We will keep enrolling students until every seat is taken. Our staff has been chosen and our curriculum will be here tomorrow. Everyone is excited about the start of our camp on February 11.

Summit Learning Services typically nominates a "student of the month" around this time. Instead, we would like to nominate a "teacher of the month." Kim B. is our January teacher of the month. Kim works at a top Broward County public school and tutors several students for Summit. Kim is an extremely effective educator who has that special "spark." Congratulations Kim and thank you for all of your efforts.

Our SAT test classes have been filling up at a rapid pace. The next SAT test is set for March 1, 2008. We still have room for a few more students if you are already registered for that date. Please call the office for details.

FCAT testing for most students begins in less than 2 months. The FCAT test has been praised and criticized depending on who you talk to. The fact remains, it is still a vital part of most public school students lives. Parents, please take this test seriously. Your children deserve to have fun time outside of school. Soccer, karate and football are all wonderful activities. Please don't forget that reading, writing and math are just as important, if not more so.

Summit Learning Services is offering one of the most comprehensive FCAT camps available. If you have any doubts about your child's ability to do well on the FCAT, or if you are confident in your child's ability to do well but would like to enrich their ability to do even better, call our office. Our camp is filling up quickly, and we will most likely sell out in the next few weeks.

Summit's FCAT "Boot Camp" is coming! The FCAT is a very important test for most students in Florida. Summit Learning Services is holding an FCAT "Boot Camp" from February 11th-March 7th. It will be an intense 4 weeks of Language Arts & Math. Our partner school students will receive a discount. Please call the office for more details.

Back to school day for most Broward County students! Summit Learning Services is proud to announce Billy G. as our December/2007 student of the month. Billy is a joy to work with and has made tremendous strides with his math skills. Great job Billy!

Happy New Year to all of our staff, students, parents and everyone affiliated with our organization. Make 2008 the very best year ever! We will be making some major announcements in the next few weeks. In the meantime, stay safe and healthy.

As 2007 winds down, many thoughts go through our head. It has been a great year and hopefully, 2008 will be even better. We are so very grateful for the ability to help as many students as possible. I know our collegues in the industry feel the same way about their learning centers.

There are so many people in the streets, without families or loved ones to go home to. There are people who are sick and suffering. Please don't forget about them. The holiday season is a time when compassion is very important. If you can, help someone. Even if it is just one person. Just think if everyone in our society helped just one person in need.

Special thanks goes out to Shawanda S., our Administrative Assistant in Plantation. Shawanda is an incredible talent (and a future educator!). Our Plantation learning center has never looked so nice. Shawnda's hard work and creativity really shows!!

A big welcome to our 18 new students for the month of November. Our Super Reading & Math camp is in full swing and going very well!

Our Super Reading & Math camp started today. It will be a full month of intense learning mixed in with a little fun too!

We would like to welcome new teachers to the Summit staff. A big welcome goes out to Rob L. and Kim B. Not only are they Florida certified educators, they are also passionate and caring professionals. Best of luck to you both!!

Report cards go out for all Broward public schools tomorrow. Summit Learning Services can help bring those grades up!

Our Super Reading & Math camp is starting to fill up quickly. We are hoping for a complete sellout and the ability to offer scholarships to deserving students. Please contact the office to register.

Summit Learning Services would like to announce Chris Filguiera as our October student of the month. Chris has worked very hard and has made incredible advances since starting with Summit. He is a joy to work with. Congratulations Chris!!

Summit Learning Services will hold a "Super Reading & Math Camp" from November 26-December 21. This 4 week intense and structured camp will be taught by some of Broward's best Florida certified educators. The affordable fee includes all books, t-shirts and an awards ceremony. The fee also includes use of our state of the art computer lab, an award winning reading curriculum and Singapore Math, the finest math curriculum available to children. This is an excellent time for parents to give their children that extra advantage in school and to get them ready for FCAT testing. Please call the office for more details.

Summit Learning Services will be accepting Sallie Mae financing in the next month. This will allow our current and future parents an excellent source of 3rd party financing. Please call the office for details.

Summit Learning Services would like to welcome our new teachers hired last week. A big welcome to Paula W. Sidney L. Jamie B, Andy B and Dan S. We strive to hire the finest educators in Broward County and this group is no exception. Summit will be hiring more teachers in the next couple of weeks. We would also like to welcome our 16 new students enrolled in the month of October so far.

One of the ways Summit Learning Services gives back to the community is our scholarship program with area schools. We awarded our 1st scholarship last week. The students are chosen by our participating schools. This 3 month, full time scholarhip includes books and all curriculum materials. We hope to be able to award many more scholarships this year.

We would like to announce Christopher Bailey as our September student of the month. Christopher was part of our summer "Reading, Math & Writing camp" and has continued to make great strides in learning. He is also a pleasure to work with. Congratulations Chris!!

Interim report cards went out to all Broward County Public School students this past Friday. Parents...this is the time to make sure your child is where they should be academically. We understand the difficulty in raising children in todays world. It is tough to juggle so many things throughout the week. Keep your child's minds enriched with positive things. Read to them and help them as much as you can with their homework. When you find yourself unable to find the time or maybe your child needs some extra help.....call us. Don't wait unitl report cards come out. We are starting to fill up quickly. This is the time to make the call that could change your child's life.

During our meetings with the local public schools, we are finding more and more schools currently using or being trained in Singapore Math. This allows Summit Learning Services to be ready when it becomes an even greater method of math used in our schools. An expert in Singapore Math has told us California may be using it statewide in the next month or so. Summit Learning Services will have our Singapore Math classes available in the next week We cannot be more thrilled!!!

SAT classes have already started and are filling up quickly. There are 6 more SAT tests during the 2007-2008 school year. The next test is October 6. Call the office for more details.

Our new reading curriculum will be here in the next month! This curriculum is currently used in some of the finest school districts in the United States. We will have the contract signed in the next few weeks and it will be offered in all of our new franchised locations. The combination of our new reading curriculum and Singapore Math....all taught by real teachers, gives Summit an unprecendented level of quality in our industry.

Our first 4 school business partners have been set up and we cannot be happier. So far, Gator Run, Manatee Bay Elementary, Tropical Elementary and Griffin Elementary have selected Summit to partner with. The business partnership program allows Summit to give back to the community and especially to these wonderful schools. Summit Learning Services value our partner schools relationships and hope to add a few more in the next week.

Singapore Math is coming!!!!!!! Summit will be offering this revolutionary style of math in late August. For several years, Singapore has been the world leader in math achievement. Experts in Singapore Math have taken their philosophy of teaching math to several major United States school districts and have had phenomenal success. Singapore Math is currently used in over 500 schools in the United States and the list is growing. We are thrilled to be one of the first learning centers in the area to teach this effective form of mathematics.

We had the opportunity to visit several schools last week. I am always amazed at the students during the 1st few weeks. Such apprehension at first...then once they settle in...it is time to work! The state of Florida public (and private) school systems seems to always be under attack. The fact is, we have some of the best educators in the country! I have had the pleasure to meet hundreds of educators in the past year. I have never witnessed such passion and committment. Thanks to all of you who teach our children.

Summit Learning Services developed business partner relationships with several schools last year. We value these relationships and look forward to working with our partner schools this year.

It is back to school for most Broward County students!! Best of luck to everyone. Summit Learning Services representatives will be be out at your schools in next few weeks. Please contact the office for our new class schedules.

Today was our final day of camp along with the awards ceremony where every student receives a diploma for their completion. We were so happy with the turnout! Many parents came with brothers, sisters and friends of our students. We can't say enough positive things about the camp. Best of luck to everyone in the 2007/2008 school year!!

Summit Learning Services is proud to announce our membership with the International Reading Association and the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics. We are looking forward to the excellent information and guidance these two organizations will give the company.

It is the start of the 3rd week of our summer camp. The time has passed so quickly. The entire Summit staff would like to thank all the parents who were involved with our camp. You and your children made a commitment this summer......a commitment to make your children better students. It was not easy for some...juggling work and making sure your kids got to camp.

Our 2nd week of Summer B camp starts today. The 1st week went smoothly and the students are learning a lot. We hope our camp will provide them a "jump start" for the upcoming school year. It has been a fantastic summer so far!!

Summer "B" camp started today! As in our Summer "A" camp..the students came in a little nervous but quickly warmed up. We are so proud of our incredible group of teachers and support staff. By combining passionate Florida certified educators, state of the art teaching methods and the highest quality curriculum available.....our camp is unlike any other. By the time summer break is over, we will have had close to 100 students attend our camps. Thanks to our Summer "B" staff...Sandy, Bleidy, Ginger, Jeanee, Liuvy and Pryscilla.....you guys are the best!!!

Our philosophy at Summit is a little different than other area learning centers. We do not utilize "used car" sales tactics & overpriced long term contracts for classes taught by unqualified educators. We do not wear jungle costumes and give our classes cute names.

Instead, we hire the very best local educators and give them the finest tools to teach with. We offer our parents a variety of settings for their children to be taught in. The selection of what type of education your child will receive is one of the most important decisions a parent can make. We encourage every parent to check out the educator and facility thoroughly before making a selection.

First, we would like to thank Dorothy Farrell for all her guidance and support. Dorothy has an extensive background in the education field and even ran a successful private school in Homestead, Florida for many years. Dorothy....thank you for everything!!!

I spoke a few months ago about the importance of teacher certification (in this case, Florida certification) for any person providing learning/tutoring services to your children. Summit Learning Services only hires Florida certified teachers. Not only does Florida certification require teaching professionals to maintain an appropriate level of competency, it also requires them to be criminal background tested at the federal level. Most of the area learning centers have non-certified educators making up the majority of their staffs. Summit Learning Services does not consider the hiring of Florida certified educators as above and beyond the expected level of service committment...we consider it to be expected....period.

We want our mechanics, physicians and personal fitness trainers to be certified....why would we not require the same level of training and competency from the people who teach/tutor our children? We advise every parent to go to the Florida Department of Education website (www.fldoe.org) and check the qualifications of anyone working with their child. Your child deserves it!!

Summit Learning Services would like to announce Ryan and Patrick Scanlon as our June students of the month. They both have made tremendous strides and are such a pleasure to work with. Congratulations to you both!!

Our Summer "A" camp has been a tremendous success. Summer "B" will begin on July 16th. We honestly feel our camp is the very best summer learning camp in the area. With 2 weeks to go, we have almost every available seat filled. We wish all our students and families a safe and happy 4th of July!

Our first summer camp began today and we are thrilled with the start. All of the students are ready to learn!! We are almost at full capacity & hope to be 100% full for our Summer "B" term which begins on July 16th.

We have a wonderful staff of teachers with us!!...........Thanks to Sandy, Angela, Bleidy and Jeanee....and also Pryscilla for all your efforts.

We would like to announce Kalani Pigao as our May student of the month. We are so proud of Kalani and the great job he did on his SAT's. Best of luck next year Kalani!!!

Our summer camp continues to grow everyday. We are now almost completely full. Please contact the office if you have not already done so!!!

Summit Learning Services continues to make strides in setting up our summer "Reading, Math & Writing" camp. We have students coming from many different public and private schools. Our staff is set and ready to go!!

Summit Learning Services will be relocating to 7420 NW 5th St. The new space is 1/4 mile west of our existing space. The new office is much larger and more conductive to the educational experience. Our move will take place May 19, 2007.

Our franchise developing efforts are also moving forward. Summit has selected a franchise consulting team, which will work closely with the company to package our business model. Soon there will be Summit Learning Services in many different markets in Florida!!

We are delighted with the response to our Summer "Reading, Math & Writing" camp. We have already filled many of the seats available. The curriculum will be top notch and the teachers we have hired are exceptional !
