If you want to work hard in a rigorous academic program, Summit may well be a great place for you. Summit prides itself on its diverse student body and ability to help all students realize significant academic gains. All teachers and staff at the school work very hard to support every student, but sustained student effort and parental support are crucial for success at Summit. If you choose Summit for some other reason—such as it being a relatively small middle school or close to your home—you may find that Summit is not a good match for you. So if you come to Summit, be ready and eager to work hard and to be fully engaged with your learning. Summit is not a school only for the intellectual elite. We have no admissions test. It is a school for people of widely varying talents who want to work hard and be challenged academically.
