Faculty and Staff

Our faculty and staff are committed Christians and the heart of our school. They are certified educators and many hold advanced degrees. Summit Christian Academy teachers have chosen to teach in a Christian environment where they exercise the freedom to wrap academic excellence in biblical truth. This freedom enables them to educate the whole child. Small class sizes allow teachers to celebrate every student, recognizing each for their unique gifts and talents.
