The Summit Montessori Parents' Association is a parent-run volunteer organization that works closely with the Head of School, administration and faculty. SMPA's mission is to encourage and coordinate parent involvement, enhance a sense of community, as well as, support the development and cultural objectives of the school. Throughout the year we organize cultural enrichment programming, community events and fundraising events.

Money that SMPA raises supports many different facets of the school: the Community Picnic, the teacher/staff appreciation luncheon, and numerous cultural programs. These projects add a wonderful depth to the Summit experience.

We encourage families to get involved. All Summit parents and/or guardians automatically become members of SMPA when their child enrolls.Participating in this group is a great way to meet other parents, and to learn about current happenings at Summit. All of our students benefit from the work that SMPA does.
