Copyright and Intellectual Property in Education
At Summit College Preparatory School, we believe that copyright and intellectual property are essential pillars of a modern, ethical learning environment. Protecting original work, recognizing fair use, and enforcing licensing agreements help students and educators foster creativity and responsibility in the digital age.
Whether using multimedia materials, publishing student projects, or sharing academic resources, our community is trained to understand and follow best practices for creative rights and legal use of content. We provide clear guidance, support, and structured access to licensed tools and repositories that ensure we respect creators’ rights while supporting innovation and digital literacy.
We also promote awareness of intellectual rights through regular training and discussion. This fosters a culture of ethical use and encourages students to value proper attribution, originality, and the responsible sharing of knowledge in both classroom and online environments.
Summit College Preparatory School upholds the legal and ethical use of educational and creative materials. We fully comply with copyright and intellectual property policies by ensuring that every student and teacher understands their responsibilities when using licensed materials and instructional content.
Our policies guide the proper use of digital tools, creative works, and open-source platforms. We encourage respect for authorship, proper citation practices, and the responsible sharing of academic work within our learning community. This commitment is essential for upholding academic integrity in today’s digital education systems.
