High academic standards – work of excellence
We believe that every child should strive for excellence. We meet individuals where they are and challenge them to take their learning to the next level. We understand that the demonstration of growth over time comes from the opportunity to learn from mistakes and to
value the revision process. Students at Summers-Knoll learn to value challenges, seeing them as opportunities to grow as learners and as people. Getting out in the world
We believe school needs to extend itself beyond the borders of the school walls whenever possible. As such, we connect learning to the real world by encouraging students to be active participants in the community and inspiring them to imagine their future place in the world. Meaningful learning that is full of connections
We believe that children learn best when their work is connected to what matters to them and when they are given the opportunity to find their passions. We engage children students in learning that gives them the opportunity to experience the joy that comes with connecting a passion meaningfully to their work. Community and belonging
We believe that a place where everyone is known, where learners are diverse, and the importance of empathy is nourished fosters an engaging environment for learning and for preparing children for the future.
