Summit has been a wonderful home away from home for my children since they joined the toddler discoveries class as two year olds. The teachers care deeply about each student and are dedicated to making sure they are constantly learning and using best practice in their teaching. I feel confident that my children will leave Summit prepared for high school and beyond.

I love that my daughter's teachers take the time to truly get to know her and develop personalized learning goals and objectives that truly enhance and extend her learning. She gets exposed to so many new ideas and ways to process information and the world around her through all the specials classes. Summit also has focused on her social-emotional learning as they help her navigate disagreements and problems in positive and respectful ways.

The student to instructor ratio allows for individualized learning paths. Many of the teachers have been there for over 20 years and sti...

Years ago, enrollment was at a peak of 380+, the community was thriving, teachers were challenged to work hard, admin was transparent, PTO was kind, the BOD was professional. Then the decline happened. Teachers taught the same curriculum with the same exact projects year after year. Staff training l...
