Wondering when you can apply? At The Summit, we are always excited to meet and welcome new families, so we use a rolling admissions cycle where new students can apply at any time during the year.
If you’re wondering how to apply and what you need to do to get your application ready, our 5-step application process helps give us a broad understanding of each candidate’s unique considerations. Here’s what to expect during this process:
1. Complete our online application and pay the $75 application fee.
2. The Summit will request teacher reference(s) and transcripts for those candidates who have previously attended a school, preschool, or daycare.
3. After official records are received, the candidate will be evaluated over two days consisting of both a social visit and an age-appropriate academic screening.
4. A family interview will be scheduled for the parent(s)/guardian(s) during screening time.
5. Following a formal admission offer from The Summit, parent(s)/guardian(s) will respond with a completed enrollment contract and tuition deposit to secure their student’s space in the class.*
*Space in the classroom is not guaranteed if the enrollment contract, Family Commitment Document, and/or tuition deposit are returned past the deadline (typically within 10 days).
No person shall, on the basis of race, color, national origin, age, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability/handicap, or religion, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination, harassment, or retaliation in admission to the school’s educational programs, activities, and services, and in employment opportunities.
Individual attention. Close, inclusive culture. Deeper learning. There are so many benefits to choosing an independent education at any grade level. As a private school, The Summit can offer a more individualized academic experience, including smaller class sizes, independent curriculum, and progressive approaches to education. Independent schools offer unique learning opportunities for students and a close-knit, supportive community that you may not find in other schools.
