Conscious Discipline empowers us to be conscious of brain-body states in ourselves and children. It then provides us with the practical skills we need to manage our thoughts, feeling and actions.
With this ability to self-regulate, we are then able to teach children to do the same. By doing this, we help children who are physically aggressive (survival state) or verbally aggressive (emotional state) become more integrated so they can learn and use problem-solving skills (executive state).

The goal of our partnership with ASSET education is simple: to help our students learn ways to cope with their stress and build resilience. Each week students learned a new tool in their classes to help understand that they have a choice in how they respond to stress. ASSET Education equips educators with a curriculum of concrete tools, that are easy and quick to implement, to help their students reduce stress and build resilience. ASSET strives to provide a school environment where all students flourish, and where their abilities are not compromised by debilitating, school-related anxiety.
BEAST stands for "Bringing Everyone At Summit Together". Each student is assigned a BEAST pack with 15 other students, from mixed grade levels, and one faculty advisor. Students stay in the same BEAST pack with the same advisor for their entire time at Summit. These small groups promote community belonging, a positive school climate, upstander behavior, character development, social-emotional competencies, habits of scholarship, community service and positive citizenship.
