WE ARE

SUMMIT SCHOOL A place where learning is loved, shared and celebrated. A place where students are engaged in thinking. Doing. Creating. Discovering. Asking questions. Finding answers. Where your child’s education is a journey filled with wonder and self-realization. A place where learning lives inside the classroom and is embraced outside of it.

We are teachers who challenge. We are mentors who nurture.

Our passion is the pursuit of your child’s full potential.

“ If we teach today as we taught yesterday, we rob our children of tomorrow.” – John Dewey

They range in age from 3 to 15. Each school day, children are welcomed into a caring environment that encourages the development of their full potential through active and meaningful learning. You see it in the classrooms and hear it in the hallways. Moments of inspiration happen everywhere.

Prepared. Honorable. Curious. Accepting. Socially Responsible. These are Summit’s Core Competencies and the skills, dispositions and abilities that propel students to achieve success today and tomorrow.

Curiosity is the basic fuel of learning. There’s no telling what discoveries lie ahead.

EARLY

CHILDHOOD Eaglets, JrK and K

Young children are strong, capable, and filled with wonder.

We believe a robust early childhood education sets the stage for a future filled with a love of learning.

Rich experiences help our youngest children grow into joyful learners. Their innate curiosity drives understanding of the world and their place within it.

Children express themselves with clarity and confidence.

Equipping each child for the rich journey of lifelong learning.

Asking questions.

Listening for possibility.

Sharing knowledge.

LOWER

SCHOOL Grades 1-5

We engage the whole child.

Cultivating confidence. Developing competency.

Encouraging students to trust in their own ability. We lead by example and inspire a passion for learning that lasts a lifetime.

At Summit, you’re just as likely to see a presentation on a famous American as you are to explore the out-of-box thinking behind the design and function of a balloonpowered car. Here, curiosity is ignited and potential fulfilled.

Embracing self-reliant learning and creative expression.

LOWER SCHOOL

A robust curriculum that develops creativity and competency.

LOWER SCHOOL

UPPER

SCHOOL Grades 6-9

Think again. And again. Behind everything we do is a purpose: the fulfillment of potential.

Our classroom is a culture of thinking.

We look at things differently. We explore the ‘what ifs’.

We ask why. Often. Because knowing why something doesn’t work can be just as important as knowing why it does. Satisfying a thirst for deeper understanding helps our students grow into lifelong learners, doers, and achievers.

Think creatively, reason systematically, work collaboratively.

UPPER SCHOOL

Scholarship, at its best, is more than learning the answers for the next test; it is learning to anticipate new questions and pursue complex answers.

UPPER SCHOOL

TRIAD

ACADEMY Grades 1-8

Children with dyslexia learn differently.

As a nationally accredited Orton-Gillingham program, we’re committed to helping students overcome the challenges of print-based reading and written language difficulties.

Small classroom settings allow our highly-trained teachers to focus on each child’s unique gifts and help close the gap between cognitive potential and academic achievement.

Students blossom into self-assured creative thinkers, problem solvers, and vibrant lifelong learners.

Our highly individualized, research-based program gives students the confidence and tools to develop their full learning potential.

TRIAD ACADEMY

We are one of only two schools in North Carolina accredited by the Academy of Orton-Gillingham Practitioners and Educators.
