Our family has been a part of Summit for the past 4 years now. We have experienced the amazing preschool program and have now moved into the elementary grades. The teachers are all so wonderful. They truly care about their students. We love the individualized focus provided to each child for academics as well. We also participated in the Toddler Discoveries program with our youngest child last year. We highly recommend it to any family that is interested in Summit for their children. It provides a great preview of the school and a wonderful transition into preschool.

Then the decline happened. Teachers taught the same curriculum with the same exact projects year after year. Staff training l...
