Our History
Summit Academy was created in 1973, born of a need to return to the basics of true education. As education evolved into a dry repetition of others' thoughts and ideas, we at Summit chose to challenge students to study, research, and formulate their own ideas from life experiences.
Summit Academy's present-day mission is to supply opportunity for students to grow, learn, and adapt in our culturally diverse world.​
