Give

Your support makes a Summit experience exceptional.
 

Summit's academic excellence and current strength are a direct result of the financial and volunteer support we receive from our constituents. Summit relies on financial support beyond tuition to fulfill its mission and keep our programs accessible to a wide range of families.

Why We Give

real stories bring our mission to life

I saw firsthand how giving expands what we can offer our students.

Meredith Welch

As a former Summit ninth grade teacher, I observed the positive impact of engaging learning experiences and strong faculty support. The grade-level trip at the start of the year built trust and connection, while traveling to Costa Rica brought biology to life as students experienced biodiversity and culture firsthand. Giving makes these transformative opportunities possible for all students.

Summit is a wonderful and rare place.

To have the effect that it did on me and so many others, giving back seems like a great way to say thank you and to make sure the families currently at Summit have every opportunity possible. It all adds up and there is a real impact.

Summit has been a big part of my life since I was 4 years old.

I had the extra added pleasure of watching both of my children attend Summit—Stuart graduated in 2014 and Pierson in 2017. Summit has given a lot to my family over the years and I feel very strongly that I need to give back to help ensure that others are afforded the same outstanding opportunities my children and I experienced.

Summit felt like a true community—full of camaraderie and care.

Doug Lewis, former head of school, helped launch my teaching career by advocating for me and supporting me every step of the way. His door was always open, and he ensured teachers had what they needed to succeed. Summit felt like a true community—full of camaraderie and care.

My children received an exceptional education at Summit. That’s why I give: to support an organization that has meant so much to my family.

A Message from the Board of Trustees Chair

 
For more than 90 years, the Summit community has invested in something far greater than a school—it has invested in generations of curious learners, compassionate leaders, and engaged citizens. Every gift helps ensure that Summit's mission continues to thrive for today's students and those who will one day call themselves Eagles.
