At Summit Christian Academy, we believe children are a gift from God, created for a purpose. Our goal is to partner with you to inspire your children to reach their God-given potential. We desire to provide a loving, compassionate atmosphere that helps children celebrate their accomplishments in a dependable, trusting environment that allows them to learn.
Each day in Early Education provides a variety of instructional methods, hands-on opportunities, intentional, age-appropriate play, and well-rounded curriculum to meet the needs of each child socially, emotionally, physically, academically, and spiritually. We want to help your child develop a love for Jesus and others, as well as a lifelong love of learning, allowing them to soar as God intended!
