Happy Testimonials from Real Parents and Students
"Summit was amazing for my high school years. I was able to connect with awesome academic counselors who helped me complete early college. I was able to graduate with both my high school diploma and my associate's degree. I appreciate it all of the help and transitioning from middle school to high school to Community college and beyond."

"We have tried online charter school before, and Summit is the perfect mix of online and optional in-person, with staff that make it obvious they WANT to be a part of my kids’ lives. We appreciate Summit!!!"

"I really like how Summit's K-5 EOP program gives you the chance to work with your child using curriculum that fits for them as individual learners. The middle and high school programs are more rigorous, but there are still different options to choose from to help your child succeed. I have 2 kids who have gone through the Early College program Summit also provides. The teachers and faculty are very helpful and make learning fun for the kids. Overall, we think Summit is a great school choice for our family!"
