Summit Achievement : Transforming the lives of teens through Activity-based Therapy

Summit Achievement accepts students throughout the year on a rolling admissions basis with enrollments typically scheduled for Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday each week. Special arrangements may be made for admissions at other times. This allows Summit to respond promptly to escalating difficulties within a family and enables parents to relatively quickly place their teen in a safe environment where problems can be assessed and treated.

Submitting an Application

Applicant families are asked to complete and submit an application that includes family information, counseling, medical and academic history, and an Authorization to Release Information. The latter is required so the clinical team can obtain information, if needed, from other professionals who have previously provided services to the applicant.

Applicant Screening

Upon receipt of the application materials, the Admissions Department will review all information and materials provided to ensure that the application is complete. Following this preliminary review, the Admissions Director presents the candidate's application to the Clinical Team for discussion and determination of appropriateness for admission. An admissions decision or request for additional information typically follows within one to four business days. If accepted for enrollment, parents will be asked to complete several additional documents required prior to enrollment.

Program Fees

Summit Achievement�s program tuition is $445 per day. The average length of stay is 42 to 56 days. The first 4 weeks of tuition is due at enrollment. After four weeks invoices will be sent on a biweekly basis for the duration of a students stay. There is a $300 expense account required for each student, any unused balance of which will be refunded.

Limited financial assistance is available to qualifying families. Please call the admissions department for more information.

Methods of Payment

Accepted forms of payment include Visa and MasterCard, personal checks, cashier checks, and wire transfer. Additional information on educational loans is available from the Admissions Department.
