Turn Engagement into Results

Students earn ClassCade coins within Summit K12 by completing lessons, assessments, and Personalized Learning Plans (PLPs), with rewards calibrated to reflect the quality and rigor of their work.

After school hours, these coins can be used in ClassCade — a secure, game-based environment designed to reinforce motivation, persistence, and mastery of academic skills.

How It Works

Earn Coins for PLP Progress

Students earn coins for completing PLP activities, assignments, and extra practice. The number of coins earned is tied directly to student achievements.

Open Treasure Chests

Coins are used to unlock chests in ClassCade after school. Chests contain game tokens, power-ups, collectibles, and so much more.

Play & Compete (Motivation Loop)

Use game tokens to play head-to-head against classmates to compete for the highest score. Competition and social interaction encourages consistent usage.
