What is the difference at The Summit?
An Exceptional Learning Experience to Ignite the Soul
Students are invited to engage in an exciting learning environment in which they are encouraged to develop a mature and profound sense of inquiry. We encourage students to ask, to test and to pursue answers so that they can learn to discern and engage in a mature encounter with reality. While preparing students to thrive in higher education we offer much more than a gateway to college. The end objective of our education is in the name of our methodology. A robust Classical Liberal Arts program is a proven means of forming the students to enjoy and grow in liberty; an authentic freedom that is oriented towards what is true, good and beautiful.

Why study Classical Languages?
- Latin studies can be key to success on the SAT- especially the verbal portion of the exam. In addition, students who study classical languages also perform at a higher level in their collegiate studies (see results from the college board https://www.bolchazy.com/Assets/Bolchazy/extras/LatinAdvantageandSATscores.pdf )
- The study of Latin and Greek are the most effective way to teach language itself, critical thinking and reinforce an integrated approach to learning.
- Classical languages give students a passport to understanding a broad range of diverse thinkers including Virgil, Galileo and Newton as well as the early Church Fathers, St. Thomas Aquinas – as Pope Blessed John XXIII wrote in Veterum Sapintiae, “[Latin] is a general passport to the proper understanding of the Christian writers of antiquity and the documents of the Church’s teaching.”
An education in the classical liberal arts equips students with skills that extend far beyond simply interpreting particular languages. Increasingly, employers are calling for a recovery of an emphasis on humanities as a means of forming young professionals. “I propose that Classical Greek be restored as the centerpiece of the undergraduate curriculum. The loss of Homeric and Classical Greek from American college life was one of this century’s disasters…The capacity to read Homer’s language closely enough to sense the terrifying poetry in some of the lines could serve as a shrewd test for the qualities of mind and character needed in a physician.” – Dr. Lewis Thomas, New England Journal of Medicine Classical languages open up a vast horizon of learning opportunities that will reach will beyond a student’s high school years.

Costs and Return on Investment
In the 2019-2020 school year The Summit Academy will offer tuition at a cost of $7,750. All groundwork decision-making and planning is structured to keep costs under control. Our objective is to keep tuition prices within reach for as many families as possible. As part of our effort to serve families our intention is that school expenses should always remain well below national and regional averages for private high school tuition. What is the real return on investment? In all stages of development the mission of The Summit is to provide a comprehensive education and a level of student preparation that is unmatched in rigor, scope, and affordability. Excellent academics, character formation, a commitment to life skills development, personalized attention and a healthy culture that will encourage a lifelong love of learning are key differentiators that make the Summit Academy a valuable investment with returns that far exceeds the monetary cost. An investment in an education at The Summit is an investment for a lifetime.
