Mission:
Summit School is founded on the belief that the education of children is the shared responsibility of families, schools and communities. We strive to provide a high quality, student-centered education program designed around compelling topics emphasizing the integration of the arts, science and technology. Our learning environment will provide for multi-age grouping in a collaborative community that celebrates children’s natural curiosity in their quest for knowledge, wellness and service opportunities on their journey to the summit.
