Dear Friends,

We hope that you enjoy reading our Fall Newsletter, which highlights the growth of our students, celebrates our faculty, and shares the beauty of our community. We are providing an education truly worthy of the human person, and we are so grateful that you have joined us in this work.

Now in its eighth academic year, The Summit is positioned to reach new heights. An eight-member board of directors is prepared to address the most pressing short- and long-term matters with wisdom, prudence, and grace. With 112 students enrolled from 78 families, The Summit has nearly reached capacity in its current facility. As we plan for the future, we are excited to undertake the ambitious project of building our very own campus on Gordon Road. We are in the process of securing a special-use permit. Here, we are encouraging local officials to consider the public good that our private institution creates: we form responsible young adults prepared to engage with and contribute to their nation.

Please keep a successful outcome to this process in your prayers as we prepare to move to the next stage of our efforts. With our own space, we can provide the kind of incarnational environment that best facilitates meaningful encounters with Christ and with one another. 

In the meantime, we will continue educating young men and women, encouraging in them a desire for holiness, and forming them in Christian virtue. To all of you who partner with us in this mission, we appreciate your time and treasure. We look forward in hopeful anticipation of what God will do next!

Dear Friends,

We hope that you enjoy reading our Fall Newsletter and discovering all the new things that are coming together as we shift into the seventh academic year of our young school.

The Summit Academy has always been, at its foundation, a community effort, and our project has consisted of local families simply stepping up. However, it is always the case that the phenomenon of a lot of people doing what they can, where they can, creates unstoppable momentum. It is an exciting time here at The Summit, and we are not only feeling the momentum, but seeing it in very concrete ways. There are now over 100 students on our campus and, to enable that growth, we have constructed a new 2,400 square foot building to provide additional classroom space. At our Fall Gala we shared some exciting news about a beautiful piece of land on which we plan to establish a permanent campus. You can expect more news on that front as planning unfolds, but we did have a little taste of the excitement on Thanksgiving week when the community came together for a land blessing given by Fr. Eversole, followed by our annual student/parent soccer match.

Working with young people offers us the gift of seeing the world as full of hope and opportunity, and the excitement of growth and next steps. To all of you who partner with us in this mission, we appreciate you stepping out with us. We look forward in hopeful anticipation of what God will do next!
