Our stunning campus, with a physical plant valued at $44 million sits on 28 acres in the heart of Winston-Salem. Known as the Reynolda Corridor, the tree-lined Reynolda Road is home to Wake Forest University, the Reynolda House Museum of American Art and Reynolda Gardens, the Southeastern Center for Contemporary Art (SECCA), Graylyn International Conference Center, and Summit School.
COVID has caused us to reconfigure our campus to accommodate in person learning. As it turned out, some of the changes we made resulted in a better student experience, so we've decided to make those temporary changes more permanent. At Summit we are always looking for ways to improve our program. We are making those more permanent facility changes this summer and will have an updated campus map available in August.
