We love the community that the summit has. As parents we feel very connected to the other families and kids. Our son has excelled in school there and is always happy to go. He has leaned so much more than just typical school things, he has gained confidence and self awareness.

The people make this place a great place for your child to learn without distractions. Our kids have flourished at this school and the teachers are phenomenal. The staff is very caring and committed to the kids and a great experience for all. Hopefully there is a plan to help the sports program here. It is one of the best places we have had our kids, and we are glad to pay whatever for our kids to go here.

The Summit is such a unique educational experience in Springfield. We are thankful our daughter can attend here. She is fully known and supported at school with a great community of educators, admin, parents, and friends. We love the variety of specials classes, high-quality teaching, and small class sizes.

As a former student at the Summit, I would not recommend this school to others. I left Summit recently due to severe social, emotional, and academic deficits. Chaos was an everyday affair, and students would yell and throw things while teachers tried to teach. This disrupted my education and even pu...

My daughter is thriving at the Summit. We have been through public school (both online and seated) as well as helping to start a small micro-school in Springfield, but neither fit well with what my daughter needed and what we desired for her, a mix of independence with support and access to arts and...
