Grandparent's Day
Friday, November 19th | 7:45AM - 11:30AM
It's time for YOU to go back to school!

Summit Christian Academy is founded on three essential elements: the gospel, classical education, and partnership. For 26 years we've worked to disciple students, deepen our classical roots, and create strong bonds between Summit and the families we serve. One of the highlights of this partnership is Grandparents' Day. It is a joy for us to share with you the ways in which your grandchildren are learning and growing into young men and women for Christ. We hope you can join us back on campus this fall!

While all grandparents are invited to participate in the full schedule of events listed below, please note that the first part of the morning is at the Upper School campus and the second half is at the Grammar School campus. Your grandchild will only be at their assigned campus so if you only have grandchildren at one campus, you may choose to only attend that portion of the event.
