New Summit Academy graduates leave Costa Rica not only with the impressive RESUME one builds while studying abroad, but with a unique set of skills, a clearer understanding of their values, increased autonomy and self-governance, the capacity to see things from different viewpoints, flexibility and adaptability, and a renewed drive to pursue their path. We were fortunate to sit down recently with a few of our graduates and their parents who shared perspectives on student life, growth at NSA and the impact our school had on themselves and their families.
"Aventura was really fun and I learned a lot...having the opportunity to be in a new culture and learn about a new place - it was really cool for me." |
"After NSA I feel like I am someone who can work hard and succeed in the real world with true relationships and with healthy relationships." |
"I feel like now I am able to go out and achieve what I want to do. I have the ability and mindset to...achieve each of these." |
"Any moment, any class, any activity...something can happen and you'll create a deep memory that's very important." |
"They gave him skills, they increased his awareness, they helped him with daily routines and habits as well as just how to ask for help when it's needed." |
"In terms of our family dynamics, NSA allowed us to have more open and honest conversations and created more connections amongst us all." |
