2017 was a fantastic year for the New Summit Academy community – with achievements including: 

-The implementation of our quarterly Club Fair, providing more chances for our students to pursue their passions and interests

-Adding Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL) to both our Course Catalog and as a professional certification opportunity

-The final installation phase of our solar panels, significantly reducing our program’s environmental impact
​

-A successful Wilderness Advanced First Aid Course, with 100% of participating students earning their WAFA and CPR Certifications

-Enrichment of our Global Citizenship Facet Workshops, including interviews with authors and filmmakers

-Successful facilitation of 22 Aventuras, including our Integrated Aventuras as well as once-in-a-lifetime journeys to Peru and South Africa
 

-Increased student empowerment, with improvements to our Student Council and Proposals systems

-College acceptance for 100% of our graduating seniors, with an average merit scholarship offer of $53,904 and well over a million dollars of total scholarships offered

2018 is looking to be even more exciting, and as we develop our goals – guided by our organizational values – we would like to thank our students, families, educational consultants, faculty and staff, homestay families and the community of Atenas for the support and dedication they have provided to make New Summit Academy the amazing program it is today.

Keep an eye out in future issues for our 2018 goals and objectives!

Many of NSA’s students returned home to celebrate the winter holidays with family and friends. Those who remained in Costa Rica celebrated with their New Summit Academy family and friends, enjoying the natural beauty of the country while having loads of fun participating in recreational activities.

​These are just some of outdoor adventures our students engaged in over the holiday break:
 
 - Hiking among the geysers and mud pots of Rincon de la Vieja National Park 
 - Horseback riding in the tropical dry forests of Guanacaste Province 
 - Spending time surfing and relaxing at the beach 
 - Swimming in the spectacular blue waters of the Rio Celeste 

 
Happy Holidays and Feliz Año Nuevo to our entire New Summit Academy Community! ​
