Summit School's New
CREATIVE ARTS CENTRE
​
This will be the first ever creative arts centre for the neurodiverse. Housing music and media production studios, a visual arts room and a dance studio, this building will truly be a place where the voices of a new generation of neurodiverse youth will given the resources to flourish.
​
The Centre is not simply an expansion, but the dawn of a new era for Summit School and its presence in the international landscape of inclusion research and advocacy, for which Montreal is quickly becoming a recognized hub.
The Time to Build is Now
A Program Like None Other
At Summit School, the Creative Arts program has translated its unique philosophy of fostering self-expression and identity exploration into a nationally and internationally recognized model.
This vital curriculum is leading discussions on “neurodiverse identity” and challenging audiences to see these young people in new ways.
The school's new building will provide a home to the arts, not only at Summit, but in the community, the city, and the country.

Living Creatively,
Living Actively
The new expansion will also be a place where our students will learn the skills and habits that will allow them to lead a healthy, active lifestyle.
Youth with developmental diversity are more susceptible to inactivity due to motivation and socialization challenges.
Our team of professionals work with our students over years to instill the tools they will need to live a healthy life.
