A MESSAGE FROM:
New Summit Charter Academy
2025-2026
New Summit Charter Academy (NSCA) is a K?8 charter school, opened in 2018, located in the northeastern quadrant of Colorado Springs and authorized within Academy District 20. The school was founded in response to community demand for a learning environment where parents are active partners in their children?s education. NSCA emphasizes both academic rigor and character development, creating a safe and supportive environment where students are empowered to become critical thinkers, lifelong learn…
ers, and contributing members of society. The mission of NSCA is to develop a safe educational community that emphasizes a love of learning and inspires and equips students to reach ?New Summits.? This mission is realized through a content-rich curriculum built on the Core Knowledge Sequence, Singapore Mathematics, and literacy development that emphasizes critical thinking and problem solving. Instruction is differentiated through flexible skill-level groupings and targeted interventions, including daily What I Need (WIN) time for reading and math, to ensure each student receives the appropriate level of challenge and support. NSCA also prioritizes the development of character and relationships. The schoolwide implementation of the Capturing Kids? Hearts philosophy, which has earned national recognition, underscores a culture of trust and respect. Core values of respect, achievement, resilience, teamwork, and integrity guide daily interactions and decision-making. Programs such as the House of Yeti build relational capacity and foster leadership among students, creating a cohesive and supportive school culture. Professional Learning Communities (PLCs) play a central role in NSCA?s instructional practices. Teachers collaborate to identify essential standards, monitor student progress, and adapt instruction based on both formative and summative assessment data. This approach ensures that instruction is responsive, intentional, and aligned with the school?s goal of fostering both academic excellence and personal growth.
