Our Story

The VISION of Summit Christian Academy is to prepare students academically, socially, and spiritually, equipping them to discern truth, articulate their faith, and serve others for the glory of Jesus Christ.

The MISSION of Summit Christian Academy is to partner with parents to educate and disciple young men and women through a Christian and classical education.

Summit Christian Academy (SCA) is a K-4 through 12 classical Christian school designed to partner with parents of like values to develop lifelong learners who are carefully equipped to meet the educational, professional, moral and spiritual challenges that we all face throughout adulthood. The Summit motto, “Discern, Articulate, Serve” represents the core values that SCA holds dear. We pursue these values by instilling a clear and accurate understanding of truth and inspiring the desire to pursue it vigorously and articulate its beauty to this world as competent, humble, and gentle servants of the Lord Jesus Christ.

An abiding love for truth is central to these goals. This love presupposes three important beliefs: there is truth, truth can be known or discerned, and there is great value in its possession. When present, these beliefs naturally ignite a desire to learn. When absent, a desire to learn gives way to apathy and boredom. Proverbs 2:4 admonishes us to seek knowledge, discernment, and understanding as if they were silver or hidden treasure.

Learning to distinguish that which is real and genuine from that which is false and misleading is critical to one’s education and effectiveness in life. This differentiation is central to our instruction in all subject matter. We insure this preparation for life by teaching all of our subjects under the umbrella of a biblical worldview. Colossians 1:16 states, “For by Him [Jesus] all things were created, both in the heavens and on earth, the visible and invisible….” Approaching teaching and learning from this perspective allows us to solidly establish a student’s knowledge and understanding of reality upon the God who created it.

Since its inception in 1996, SCA has been striving to accomplish these goals through the application of the classical Christian approach to education. This methodology provides us with a developmentally sensitive approach to learning that allows us to teach with the grain of a student’s natural God given inclinations.​
​Being a part of Summit Christian Academy has been a gift to our entire family. We have watched the staff love and lead the students.  There is nothing like seeing the Truth and Grace of Jesus lived out, to help us in our parenting.  Our son is experiencing not just a wonderful education, but he is also being discipled.  He is learning to evaluate and think critically, and he is learning to write and communicate effectively. Our son is getting to live life with teachers, staff, and fellow students who genuinely love and care about him growing into a man that enjoys living for the greatness of God.

Our CORE VALUES guide our commitment to equipping students for earthly and eternal success.

  • Faith - We believe that Christ came to earth, lived a sinless life, died on a cross, rose again on the third day, and ascended into heaven as written in God’s Word.  We believe that we are saved by grace through faith in the atoning sacrifice of Christ on the cross, and we are reborn to a new life through the power that raised Christ from the dead.  Consistent with such faith we endeavor to glorify Christ in obedience to His Word.
  • Humility - We believe in a proper estimation of ourselves in light of God’s Word.  We believe that our power comes from Him and not from ourselves.   As a result of such humility, we consider the needs and interests of others in the context of a shared community that values and encourages each of us to live modestly and simply.
  • Integrity - We seek to be true to the principles of God’s Word.   We strive to act in accordance with these principles and also to teach others through both direct instruction and careful example.
  • Scholarship - We seek to uphold superior standards of academic excellence, intellectual honesty and accountability.  We seek to be well grounded in knowledge, to grow in intellectual maturity, and to exercise critical thinking skills.  We seek to be lifelong learners.
  • Service - We seek to be Christian servants with compassionate hearts that reflect genuine attitudes of humility and obedience. Through acts of service to our community, we evangelize by word and by example as we reach out to our community.
  • Wisdom - We seek to act wisely and judge correctly, clearly distinguishing truth from error, right from wrong, and good from evil. We seek to correctly and effectively apply knowledge learned in accordance with such wisdom.
  • Love - We seek to love others as God loves us in His indescribable gift of Jesus Christ. We believe in showing kind regard and compassion to all in our sphere of influence.
