At New Summit Academy, we emphasize student agency by integrating personal choice and self-discovery into every aspect of student life. One clear example of this agency is in our students’ daily schedules.
While students have the structure and support you might find at a traditional boarding school, they are given the flexibility to schedule activities and responsibilities at times that work best for them.
Through our advising process, students collaborate with their PROPS Teams to craft a balanced weekly schedule that aligns with their healthy lifestyle goals, putting into practice executive functioning skills like time management and organization.
Whether they aim to improve the ways they incorporate regular exercise into their lives, try out new activities, or explore more deeply the cultural richness of Costa Rica, students have a wide array of options and support for creating their weekly schedules.
Each week students can choose from fitness options like surfing, mountain biking, running, soccer, yoga, basketball, or personal training sessions in the gym and, by working alongside their advising team to evaluate what times work best for them - whether in the morning, after school, or in the evening - they can use trial and error to tailor their healthy lifestyle routine to reach the best version of themselves.

Our student-led clubs, cultural immersion experiences and weekend activities, led by our talented Experiential Education staff, further enrich student life at NSA, offering opportunities to dive into both physical and cultural pursuits.
From exploring Costa Rica’s breathtaking natural beauty to immersing in its vibrant culture, students engage in activities that foster personal growth and community involvement. This hands-on approach allows them to experiment, reflect, and ultimately take ownership of their choices, leading to a more fulfilling and self-directed educational journey.
