About Summit Academy – Butler
Summit Academy is a private residential school in Herman, Pennsylvania. Their 122-acre campus welcomes court-ordered young men aged 13-17. They specialize in at-risk services, integrating trauma informed care with substance abuse and mental health treatment.
Their program focuses on helping young men improve their lives for the future. Many who attend this program have experienced significant trauma and life challenges. They provide a safe space for healing and growth to help young men redirect their lives. You’ll have access to academics, therapy, counseling, community service, athletics, arts, and vocational training.
I love how this program focuses on holistic healing and personal development. You won’t just have access to proven therapeutic interventions but also a supportive and encouraging environment to explore your passions. They offer trades training in welding, carpentry, auto repair, screen printing, and more. You’ll also benefit from education assistance, with the opportunity to earn your GED, diploma, or college credits.
Their campus also stands out to me. You’ll recover in a vast community with peers who can resonate with your experiences. With access to a fishing pond, sports fields, and a swimming pool, you can improve overall well being while gaining the skills to promote long-term recovery.
