5280 High School creates students who are thinkers, problem solvers, collaborators, and innovators. 5280 is founded on the principle that success today requires more than just academic, factual knowledge. Professionals today encounter challenges that often require out-of-the-box solutions, and the ability to dynamically engage with the world and others around them.
We foster these skills through project based learning, or PBL. PBL is an approach which transforms education from "teachers telling" to "students doing." Through project based learning, students learn both the academic skills they need to thrive in college, and the soft skills that are so important in professional settings today.

The Summit Program supports the educational needs of teenagers in recovery from addiction, eating disorders, and other similar conditions. It is often scary and overwhelming for a teen to start a treatment program or begin their journey of recovery. However, getting sober or getting to a healthy weight is only the beginning of building a foundation for a lifetime of recovery.
