A very important component of Summit School's high school program is the team-developed Transition Plan. The team helps each student develop an
individual plan for life after high school.
Part of this plan involves future employment. Summit School annually receives funding through the Illinois Department of Human Services (DHS) to provide a Secondary Transitional Experience Program (STEP). Through this program, students become DHS clients and are eligible to participate in job training on the school campus or within the student's home community.
