It is one of the best opportunities you can take for a better tomorrow. I am an alumni 10years.

During transition out of 2020, all staff and students bring an amazing experience overall.

I completed the Medical Administrative Assistant Program. I worked hard for my 4.0 GPA. The only thing I didnt like is that we didnt have the opportunity for a REAL graduation. We couldve did it on zoom, but we didnt get that option either.

Overall a great school and every staff who works there, especially Dr King, truly is living their dream (helping students better their lives). Ms. Crystal keeps track of every student, which is a really good thing because it shows how committed Summit is to their students. I was referred to Summit by my brother who had completed his electrician program and is now working as an electrician. I took a different route though, I signed up for their IT program. I was excited to start. But I soon realized their IT program wasnt what i thought itd be. We learned about ITIL which the professors explained over and over again that it was highly recommended by other IT professionals that they do not teach us ITIL, yet the professors at Summit decided to do so anyways. I feel like the IT professors at Summit taught ITIL the way they thought was right, even when it was not correct. The whole IT program consisted of presentations which i understood because if an IT tech wanted to present an idea to their boss, they would need presentation skills. But I didnt think the whole program needed to be focused on presentations. Some of the IT professors werent on the same page. Needless to say, I dropped out of their IT program and started a different IT program and i learn so much better now. Summit is a great school overall. I think they need a lot (and I mean A LOT) of improvement in their IT program though.

I attended SAOIC for the healthcare program when it was available and it was a life changer for me. Soon after graduation I got a job as a CHW and was able to leave the restaurant I used to work before. The staff at Summit always works hard to ensure every student achieves their goals and gets more opportunities. Thank you Summit Academy for opening doors I never knew I could.

I do not know how to take this school. As for right now I will say I am keep my eyes open but hopefully I will accomplish goals though this school.

Awesome place to learn. Great learning atmosphere. Id recommend it any day.

I just left from orientation and I was impressed by the safety precautions they got. I also liked the campus as a whole. All the staff and such were nice. Im looking forward to being a student there.

Great school, awesome teachers

Real good program

I love Summit Academy.. It has been a wonderful experience. The instructors are great and very knowledgeable about the field and helping the students get to where they need to be.They have also helped me over come my barriers to become work ready.I would absolutely recommend this school to just about any person that is trying to pick a career..and the best part about this program was that I had to pay nothing out of pocket.

I’m finishing up Phase-1 and I’m so glad I came to the information session. I’ve struggled some, but I’m in it to win it. Looking forward to Phase-2. IN IT TO WIN IT!!!!!!!! The teachers are so kool, all the staff is top of the line. Thanks!❤️

Theyve changed my life completely! Great staff, accelerated course work. Thankful for their existence 🙏

It is the best school I have went to just got done finishing at Summit Academy as Community Health Worker/ Nurses Assistant I am so thankful for Summit Academy. I am trained to do many things I thought I would never do in my life. I have a career with the most amazing benefits, Thank you Summit Academy.

Im glad I chose Summit Academy. 2nd phase i worked outside getting hands on training with Mr.P. He is a great instructor. The instructors are there for you and help you succeed. Lakisha and Mathew in the Career Center are great! They helped me get my fines paid off to obtain my license back which Summit paid for. All you have to do is respect all instructors, go to school everyday and show up on time and of course do your HOMEWORK!!

I always wanted to enroll, but if only they have night hours. :(

Exceptional environment of learning. Top of the line staff who make you feel like family. And high standards for staff and students when it comes to both performance and availability. Truly an unforgettable experience.

Give them 20 weeks and they will give you whatever help you need to get trained one of several in-demand technical trades. Then theyll help you find a job, too! Best of all: no lones, no tuition costs, no mortgaging your future with a contract. GED help, too!

Great school. If you cant get a job after this school, its sure not their fault. Great place to start if you need a second or even a 3rd chance.

It was a tough but fulfilling experience. The first ten weeks are lots of schoolwork, and studying. In the end it is well worth the time. I am excited to be a part of the Summit family, and look forward to representing this school to the best of my ability.

This is an amazing place to learn and get a degree all for free. There are amazing instructors and the atmosphere is positive and welcoming.

This is a non-profit organization, but its an educational facility. Wonderful people work there... They really care about the people they serve and they want to see their students succeed!

Fantastic place with a great curriculum. Whether you want to work in the medical field or construction field.....plus its free. 20 weeks of your time and you come out with a career.

Great cost free program to get job training in construction or medical field. Change your life and join Summit if you would like to get yourself real work for a better life.

A learning center for hands on learners interested in construction, carpentry, or nursing subjects. The 6 month programs with daycares make this facility a great place to train and prepare for jobs.

Im a student in just finished 1st phase, i love it. Learning so much.

Great opportunity to excell in life, thank you O.I.C

Phase 1 got off to a rocky start because of staffing issues but it all worked out eventually. The teachers here care about making sure you receive an education and administration is helpful. The experience here is what you make it. Stay home if you have a bad attitude or this program isnt going to work for you.

My experience at Summit Academy showed me i can commit to something. I recommend Summit Academy for anyone who does not have a job. Anyone who is a high school dropout. And anyone who is having difficulties with the law. With that being said Thank you Summit Academy for the experience and knowledge you provided to me for free. Thx once again.

The best social service program in the world is a job.

It is an amazing school. It provides you with skills that is needed to obtain a career.

Until The Upper management gets a clue!!!! The maintenance Management !!!! will keep letting good works quit.Not the employee,The Maintenance Manager,Needs to retire or get fired.Start seeing the picture.You cant treat emploee like its Summit Army.

Really helpful front desk. Theyre doing some remodeling so its difficult to find parking

The school was a building I walked past every week when I was homeless. As a first time homeless man in a new city, my thoughtswere more focused on not having people see me in the light of day,and where I would find food. I was 49 years old and way too old tothink about school again...after years of college.Nine months past and with April came Spring Orientation Day.Not only did I start and finish ( 8/2016) I did very well.Along with a 3.0 GPA (CHW) I met the most wonder group ofprofessionals and students. My classmates began my sisters.We lunched together, stressed together, and learned more in 20weeks than I thought possible.This experience gave me the confidence to return to a normal life,a normal home and the ability to use my homelessness to empowerthose who struggle as I have.I am proof, yes it is possible. Not only to begin the assent, butYES YOU CAN REACH THE SUMMIT.

Great people great staff great place to get an education for nothing out your pocket

Its good to get your thoughts and goals done with and live life to the fullest

Great place to get a trade in a few different fields with no out of pocket cost to you

The best if you want to be your best. Nobody will do the work for you so only try if you can commit and be serious

Great community outreach. Good resources available

Helped me get on track with my career for free. Would recommend this school to anyone.

First phase teachers are horrible. Dr.King isnt in touch with the problems going on with the school. Personally I passed OSHA with a 80% and I was still not given my oshea card. Spoke to dr.king about it. He said I would have it... still havent received it. It feels as if sometimes we are treated as very ignorant students.

Ben Franklin is wanted out of your education and eager to help you succeed in life

The best place you can ever learn something and become something

Great school to teach you the skills you would need in the field to progress yourself into a fulfilling career. I went throu the HEO program and feel very confident after 5 months of training I have the skillset necessary to get a great career with great pay!

The training is awesome amd all is hands.on

I thought the program was nice but right away i didnt know if i was going doing into chw or cna. it wasnt that clean was the difference was. im happy they give you both so you will be able to do both, the instructors were great very helpful and they knew a lot.

One pf the best ways to pick up a trade

Good school. There are a lot to learn here

The training Ive received has been extraordinary. The school does exactly what they say they will do

I love it there. I recently graduated

I would not recommend anyone to attend a course at this organization. The Teachers in the Community Health Worker program are rude, disrespectful, impatient, unapproachable and just plain unprofessional especially the male teachers of the program. My point is just because you teach in the inner city ( the hood ), you dont have to act like the hood. One should led by example.

Great program for those who want a career.

Get a 2 years worth of knowledge in 20 weeks! and its FREE

Excellent training for best jobs/ GED & training

Change your future

Summit academy uses your student loan money to pay for your Tuition so that it’s free however all of the programs they have they deny you of all help when you should be entitled to help after they took 7k to go torward school . Every email they send about help or gift cards you never actually get the help your looking for , or they cheat you . It was not worth the 20 weeks

Excited to start school, friendly staff.

If you dedicate your time to this program and take it serious, it will pay off. You get what you put into it.

Great way to start a new career

Great school environment, staff, and students.

Very bad ged program, But they other programs that they provide is okay!
