NEXT GENERATION MIDDLE SCHOOL
Summit Middle School equips students for high school and successfully navigating adolescence through a rigorous STEAM-based curriculum that develops both students’ intellect and character. Nurturing relationships with caring teachers and peers create a culture of safety and respect to support student growth. Our Middle School environment stimulates intellectual curiosity, independent thinking and creative problem solving. Students develop social and emotional skills to become secure, well-adjusted young people prepared to make good life choices.
