Student Athletics Program

“I think that being a student athlete is fun. You get to meet new friends and learn the skills of working together and having a positive mindset during practice and race day. I mainly joined the Swim Team for my own benefit because it's a perfect way to stay active and have fun because competitive swimming is one of my favorite things to do. Also, you get to represent your school. I think it's very important to have athletics at a school because you're able to get P.E. credits through participating in Summit athletics. It's also a way to keep a balance between academics and fitness. I have had my friends cheer me on and support me every step of the way. It's great to be a part of a team when everyone is united in peace and harmony.”

“I chose to participate in athletics throughout my high school career because it gives a social opportunity I wouldn’t otherwise have, and creates an atmosphere full of teamwork and camaraderie. It has challenged me both physically and athletically, but has helped me grow and learn life lessons I can utilize in every aspect of my life. Academics is a required part of anyone's high school career, but athletics is an amazing opportunity that connects you to other individuals and helps you grow close together, apart from going to class. I feel it is vitally important to have athletics at a school because it not only promotes the school’s overall image, but gives the students a tremendously positive and energetic experience. Even those not directly competing in a sport can go watch and support their friends and enjoy the competition together."

"Student-athletics are one of the many great things about The Summit. The Summit provides so many choices for all students at each grade level. Cross country is one of the many student-athletic programs that the Summit provides. I do cross country and after school each day we go to one of the many great parks in the Springfield area. During the practice we stretch, run, and train but also have time for socialization and enjoying the park. I really like The Summit and their athletics teams too."

In addition to our standard physical education and wellness curriculum, The Summit Preparatory School offers a variety of athletic opportunities for our junior high and high school students. We are members of the Missouri State High School Activities Association (MSHSAA) and can host individual or team sports as student interest and participation allows.

We also encourage our students and student-athletes to continue to pursue their interests outside of our school and participate in activities and athletic leagues in the Springfield community. Summit students have participated in dance, equestrian sports, club sports, martial arts, and much more. As with our academic programs, our goal is to support our student-athletes and their passions wherever they may take them.

For aspiring college athletes enrolled or enrolling at The Summit, we encourage families to meet with our guidance counselor to discuss scheduling opportunities to help our students achieve their academic and athletic goals.

In addition to maintaining a healthy and active lifestyle, the goal of our private school athletics program at The Summit is to facilitate the development of essential skills that will serve student-athletes in all aspects of life. Some of these life skills can include:
