Summit School

Our two boys both started preschool and are now in elementary. The teachers, class size, academics, music, and robotics are amazing! The community is friendly and welcoming! There are multiple ways to fund tuition including the new ESA program.

We moved to Phx from Los Angeles 2 years ago and I was so worried about what school I would send my kids to as I had a 4 yr old, a 2yr old, and was pregnant. After touring many schools in the Valley, I was so relieved when I found Summit School which has preschool-8th grade. Summit educates the whole child. The schools in LA we were a part of were fantastic about understanding learning styles and giving children an incredibly well-rounded education and this is what I found at Summit. The tenure of the teachers and how highly everyone who worked there spoke of it was just another selling point. I also had the opportunity to be connected with a current Summit parent who answered so many of my questions and let me know why she had decided to move her daughter there after COVID. The Summit Preschool is a GEM. The teachers! They are the absolute best. They LOVE those kids and as working parents, it is of utmost importance to me that my kids are first and foremost loved and cared for. Then you add in the high-quality education, a large number of elective offerings, and the community of families who attend, and it has truly been such a positive experience. I told myself after preschool that I would send my kids to public school but I just can't do it, I'm all in because I love it THAT much! The preschool is also NAEYC certified which only 1 or 2 other preschools even remotely nearby hold. I came to Summit for the amazing education, but it has given us so much more than just that. The families and community are now an irreplaceable part of our lives and I am insanely grateful.

Summit school of Ahwatukee continues to exceed our expectations. Our daughter is in Kindergarten and she could not love it more. The teachers and aides are amazing. The quality of the art program is out of this world. In an age when art, PE, and music may be less valued they continue to excel in these areas. The student to teacher ratio is also low which makes for a great learning environment.

Our son could not be happier at Summit. He is a shy, quiet boy so to see him so enthusiastic about going to preschool is very exciting for us. We truly value and appreciate all of the feedback and open communication that his teachers provide. We are continuously impressed with how the teachers utilize a very thorough set of learning and development objectives to incorporate individual learning plans for each child. As a new family, we are looking forward to getting involved and being a part of the Summit community.

Amazing teachers, small class sizes. Special teachers for Science, Math, Literature, Language Arts, Technology, Spanish, Music and P.E.

We joined the Summit School community in the fall of 2009, in the preschool. The school truly is more than just a school - it is a community of like minded families who believe in both the value and power of education, as well as the importance of imparting strong positive messages for children in an environment that emphasizes personal responsibility and personal best achievement. We strongly feel that the education that the children receive is exceptional and unparalleled in our community. The school has set up a system to work to individualize education, as much as possible, and provide each child with the unique teaching emphasis that the child needs. Although we feel that the environment is more important than the results, we also feel that our daughter is achieving unexpected accomplishments in all areas of her basic and creative education. We are regularly astonished at how much she already knows, analyzes, and questions, at her early age. We cannot speak highly enough of this wonderful school and community
