The mission of The Summit Preparatory School is to prepare learners for success by providing a progressive education with a challenging curriculum in a supportive environment.
The Summit Preparatory School is a non-religious, private school that strives to provide a supportive academic environment to students in the Springfield, MO community – from Early Learners to K-12. As an independent school, our challenging and stimulating curriculum sparks the joy of learning in all of our students. Through hands-on, project-based learning and the integrated use of technology, students develop important skills, including critical thinking, creativity, curiosity, communication, collaboration, character, and citizenship.
In addition to our physical education and wellness curriculum, The Summit offers a variety of sports for our students as members of the Missouri State High School Activities Association (MSHSAA). Along with a healthy lifestyle, the goal of the student athletics programs at The Summit is to facilitate the development of essential reasoning and leadership skills that will serve student athletes in all aspects of life.
