THE SUPPORTIVE IMMERSION™ TEAM
What happens when you put together a diverse group of educators and psychologists... all with extensive international experience in many corners of the world... and you give them the chance to develop a program together?
This is how we got started in 2005 on our first project: New Summit Academy in Costa Rica. Along with 11 students and their families, we embarked on the journey of developing a program together, integrating cutting edge academics, hands-on experiential learning, and person-centered personal growth. After over a decade of success, we took a step back to answer the oft-asked question: "How did you create something so unique and special?"
Our answer? Supportive Immersion™.
