SCA has been a blessing to our kids and family. We feel SCA offers an education program truly grounded in Jesus Christ and a Biblical worldview. The teachers and staff are genuinely committed to pouring into and investing in the students. We are very impressed to see that SCA operates as a family and has a sincere desire to not only prepare the students academically, but also to help them develop and understand Jesus' will and purpose for their lives and learn to live it out. We are grateful.

SCA is an outstanding school for many reasons. It's been a joy to work here and I can't wait for my child to attend. Positives include: - Excellent leadership - Caring and competent teachers - A true dedication to a Biblical Christian worldview - Outstanding parent involvement and campus-wide activities - Positive campus culture - Opportunities for academic advancement - Exceptional Theatre Arts program - Individualized support in and out of the classroom - Beautiful and safe campus setting Drawbacks: - Developing athletic program (admin is actively working to address this) - Limited availability of extracurricular clubs and elective classes - Somewhat dated facilities

The high school teachers are wonderful. Any time my daughter has questions or needed help with a new lesson her teachers were always there to support her. They are all helpful, caring and kind. We are so thankful for them.

We do not recommend this school. Lacks teachers. Too many times they say "if you don't like it you can leave" just because of a minor disagreement. Constantly saying "this is how Leander ISD does it." Why am I paying private school tuition just for them to follow LISD guidelines. Nickel and dime you...

This is a great school. Solid (but not over the top) culture that stresses good Christian values. Top notch staff who cares genuinely about the students. Wide variety of sports. Small class size. Good food. Great Theater, Art, and Choir programs. Wonderful annual retreat that the kids really enjoy....

I'm really shocked to read the negative reviews. It's sad that this school would be characterized by these. We are not wealthy. We've had 3 students at Summit, one is graduating & a fourth begins next year. We've had experience in homeschooling and at another local Christian school. The teachers at...

There are not enough words to express how much we love being a part of the Summit family. Since moving my son here, I have seen him blossom in way I never knew possible! They way the administration using concern and intentionality in their decision making is above board. And the teachers.... Wow! My...
