I found SCA on a whim when we relocated from another state. I did a little research online and decided to enroll my children. This was my first experience with private Christian education. After a few months, I saw a difference in my children! They were excited to attend school, their teachers were always an incredible support to us as a whole family. My children were coming home reciting scriptures and singing hymns while doing homework. I could tell that the classroom environment was calm and peaceful. I began volunteering more at the school and saw firsthand the care the teachers showed their students. They prayed for their students every morning, and Christian music filled the classrooms. They encourage a spirit of excellence and it shows! The school is always clean and comfortable. We have come back for our third year at SCA and I enrolled my youngest, so now all my children attend Summit. SCA is a small school, but the education and the care they offer are incredible!

Working at SCA has been a blessing. The students are amazing and have a true desire to follow Jesus and his teachings. It has been incredible to be able to pray for students and to teach them God's word daily. I received my Bachelors of education from Eastern Washington University and received my Master in Secondary Mathematics Education from Western Governor's University.

"I am very thankful that I had the privilege to attend the Summit Christian Academy. This wonderful school had a great impact on my life! I remember my first day at SCA and the love that I felt when I first walked into my high school class. Mr. Evans and Miss Smith were role models for me. SCA teaches us not only subjects but life lessons! ~Alisa S. (SCA Graduate of 2016)
