SCS has been wonderful for my son! He's learning a ton, and he comes home from school every day ready to go back in the morning. His classroom is orderly and warm, and his teacher knows all of her students well. We'll send him back next year, and we'll send his siblings when they're ready for kindergarten.

Incredible school! As a parent, I feel that the administration, staff, and faculty at SCS provide such a nurturing and motivating learning experience for the kids. We just recently moved from an outstanding military school (Pre-K through 6th). We were nervous about transitioning to a public school. I was able to easily and promptly get in touch with the POCs at SCS. They provided very helpful information, assisting in getting the process going. Now that my kids are students at SCS, I can't imagine them anywhere else. The structure and curriculum are excellent. The school has provided a thoughtful and very user-friendly means of communication for parents/caregivers and teachers. My children feel as though their teachers care about their well-being and success. Thank you Summit Christian School. You truly are doing the most important work, teaching the Word of God.

Three years ago, my search for a learning institution to provide my three grandchildren with a combination of an excellent education and sound biblical teaching, ended at Summit Christian School. For me, SCS has proven to be a one stop shop in providing my grandchildren who range from age 6 to 12, with valuable lessons to ensure their success in life. I am at peace and never worry about my grandchildren when they are at SCS. They love their school and the staff who empower them daily to be the best they can be. Mrs. Darlene Beecher.

We switched our daughter to Summit Christian School this year and couldn't be happier with our choice. Not only is she in caring hands by all the teachers and staff, but she is also able to grow in her faith and knowledge of Christ. She is very happy at the school, loves all her teachers and is excited to go to school each and every day. We highly recommend SCS to people looking for a private school with biblical education built into the curriculum.

We switched our son to this school from another private school in the area. We could not be happier. The staff is so nurturing and caring, not only for the students, but their families as well. They truly live out their faith. The musical programs are A+++! Tears will well up when you see their programs! They push the children to excel, and most of all, they allow the children to be children, not little wooden soldiers who are supposed to stay on the line! The children are encouraging of each other. They really look out for each other. The older children watch out for the younger children. We are so glad we found this school!! I would HIGHLY recommend this school!!
