THE

SUMMIT FUND

DELIVERING THE SIX PROMISES

THE SUMMIT FUND The Summit Fund is the primary way for alumni, parents, grandparents, past parents, and friends to support the annual priorities of our school. By giving, you help Summit take advantage of mission-driven, real-time innovations that keep a Summit education dynamic – both in and out of the classroom.

Gifts to The Summit Fund provide immediate budgetary support for a variety of projects – cutting-edge classroom equipment and technology; ensured financial assistance for diversity; increased opportunities for teachers to grow professionally; robust visual and performing arts resources; and lively co-curricular activities and athletics facilities. These are direct benefits to our students right now and enhance their lives on Summit’s campus every day.

No other fund is this versatile, or this necessary, or this important. By participating in The Summit Fund you are making a difference throughout our campus while directly supporting every student, every faculty member, and every academic program. All gifts are appreciated and foster a sense of community among Summit families.

As a community we are investing in the quality of our classroom teachers - the single biggest variable in our students’ success. There is a direct relationship between the depth and breadth of the professional development of Summit’s teachers and the quality of the student experience.
