Summit provides meaningful learning that lasts a lifetime.
We inspire and we equip each student for a rich journey of lifelong learning.
At Summit, our children are surrounded by memorable teachers.
They are mentors and models—encouragers and friends—who engage students in the present and prepare them for the future.
Curiosity is the basic fuel of learning.
At Summit, we don’t waste it and we don’t squelch it—we leverage it.
Our work is always purposeful.
Every aspect of our school, from curriculum to campus, is designed to maximize opportunities for learning.
Every child brings distinctive potential and a unique voice to Summit.
We cherish that individuality, and our faculty is committed to discovering each child’s gifts.
