Summit Support 2024-2025
Summit Support is our annual publication illustrating the impact of your gifts to Summit. Thank you for your support of inspiring learning.
At Summit School we know that curiosity is the basic fuel of learning, and Inspiring Learning is both who we are and what we do. Through your philanthropy you support foundational learning, endless exploration, and joy in the journey–all while celebrating the fact that every child has a voice that matters. Thank you.
We are grateful for the many families who have supported Summit students, teachers, and programs this year with generous gifts designated to a variety of strategic priorities. The Seeding Possibilities Comprehensive Campaign has infused our campus with energy and excitement and brought in tremendous resources to strengthen our programs, enhance our facilities, and invest in the future of Summit School.
You’ll have an opportunity to read more in this publication about the campaign priorities and strategic initiatives, the progress on the new SEED Center, the creation of 21 newly endowed funds, the additional planned giving donors, and the success of this year’s annual fund campaign.
Your support is vital to our culture of philanthropy, where parents, grandparents, alums, faculty and staff, former parents, friends, and community members unite to help all students develop their full potential.
It has been an extraordinary year and the future is bright indeed for Summit School. We are deeply grateful for your support! Thank you.
Michael Ebeling
Head of School
Summit School thrives thanks to the steadfast dedication and generosity of our community. On behalf of the Board of Trustees, I offer our sincere appreciation for your support throughout the 2024-2025 school year.
Once again, the Summit community rose to the occasion— supporting Every Eagle, Every Day through all of our vital fundraising efforts. Thanks to your generosity, we exceeded our annual fund goal for The Summit Fund, and we are well on our way to realizing the bold vision of our Seeding Possibilities Comprehensive Campaign. Your support fuels our mission and ensures that Summit continues to build strong academic foundations while nurturing curious, confident learners.
As is standard practice with most independent schools, tuition covers only part of the cost of a Summit education. The remainder is made possible through an annual draw from our endowment, co-curricular program revenue, and generous contributions to The Summit Fund and other fundraising initiatives. I’m continually inspired by the enduring generosity of the Summit community—a hallmark of our school for more than 90 years. Your continued support helps ensure a strong and sustainable future for Summit. Thank you for all the ways you invest in our school—today and for generations to come.
