When students enter The Summit School, they experience a meaningful shift. For many, it’s the first time they feel genuinely acknowledged and supported. After struggling in conventional educational settings, Summit provides a nurturing environment where emotional well-being and academic success are intertwined, with a strong emphasis on social-emotional learning.

The Summit School offers a comprehensive admissions process designed to find the best fit for each student. Prospective families are encouraged to visit the school to learn about its personalized programs and supportive community. The admissions team is dedicated to understanding each child’s unique needs and how Summit’s holistic approach can address them.

Nancy Morgenroth, the Director of Admissions and Speech, highlights the school’s commitment to balancing academic challenges with social-emotional support. “Our focus extends beyond just academics. We recognize that for students to thrive, they need to feel secure and valued. Sometimes, addressing emotional needs is essential for their academic success.”

At the Upper School, with its intimate setting of just 156 students, Summit ensures individualized attention. The staff frequently collaborates to monitor and adjust each student’s educational experience, providing tailored support whether it’s related to their schedule, workload, or emotional needs.

The admissions process at Summit is crafted to identify and support students who will thrive in this environment. Families interested in enrolling their child can explore how Summit’s focus on social-emotional learning and academic excellence aligns with their child’s needs.

Ultimately, Summit transforms lives by combining personal attention, emotional support, and rigorous academic guidance. Students not only achieve academic growth but also gain the confidence to overcome challenges, supported by a dedicated team that truly understands and values them.
