Summit Montessori School is home to 100 students ages 3 to 12. Three developmental planes are at the center of the Montessori education:

• The Children’s House: Home to children ages three through six (equivalent to preschool and kindergarten), the Summit Children’s House includes three classrooms.
• The Lower Elementary School (equivalent to grades 1 through 3: Children ages 6 through 9 learn in one classroom.
• The Upper Elementary School (equivalent to grades 4 through 6): Children ages nine through 12 learn in one classroom at Summit.

The intimate atmosphere of this small school provides the children with a personalized education and a celebration of their individuality.

The Summit environment:

• Nourishes children’s natural curiosity
• Supports their continuing steps on the path to discovery
• Celebrates their accomplishments, large and small
• Provides a strong foundation for a lifelong love of learning
• Instills in students a deep confidence in themselves and their abilities—a confidence that serves them well as they move on into the wider world.

Summit Montessori School graduates are accomplished, poised, well-rounded human beings. They are self-directed and self-motivated and leave Summit ready to tackle the rigors of the most challenging secondary education.

Our intimate environment, our emphasis on academic rigor, and our focus on each student’s individual strengths all help produce young people with a solid sense of self, who step out and face their future with a strong mind and an open heart.
