Smoke and mirrors
We recently moved here from another state and looked for an educational environment which was reflective of ours. The lady who toured us was very nice but vague with curriculum specifics and teaching pedagogy. We were introduced to the elementary principal who was kind and soft spoken with an interesting accent, and I asked again for more specifics around curriculum and teaching methods. After several attempts to give me a straight answer, I was told the curriculum is loosely based on TEKS but couldn't give us specifics on methods, assessments, and she said lesson plans

I cannot begin to express how grateful I am for Summit Christian Academy. We moved our daughter out of public school in 9th grade and she is in her 3rd year at SCA. She is THRIVING! Not only has she become stronger academically, but is learning her identity in Christ. We moved our younger daughter there last year for 2nd grade and so glad we did! Every single teacher and staff member on campus knows their names and greets them with smiles and kind words. ALWAYS. The instructors are truly invested in their success, not only as students, but as a people with unique talents and gifts. In today's crazy

This school means the world to me! It feels like family there. All of the teachers, staff and students are very kind. If you want to go to a school where people are kind, considerate and are servant leaders you should go to this school. The teachers will show you a concept until they know you fully understand it, many teachers will also pray before class. There are weekly chapels with really good speakers who always have a very motivational messages. One thing that stands out about Summit is that they have a really neat innovation center with 3D printers, robots and so much more! Summit is

Its a wonderful place for your children to receive an education. It feel more like a community than a school. From faculty to headmaster, and students to teachers, everyone genuinely cares about your child. I'm so Thankful for SCA- all three of my kiddos go there. My oldest has been there for 4 years now.

This is absolutely wonderful school. I taught in public schools for four years, so I have knowledge of what is involved in teaching students. Our son went there for all four years of High School. He played multiple sports, and well academically. The college prep classes pushed him to learn study habits, and time management. The teachers are top notch, and the entire staff truly cares for each and every student. Our son finished his education there, and had no issues transitioning into university life. He now attends a private Christian University here in Texas, and is carrying over a 3.5

I am uncertain how to start my review of this beautiful school. I feel that I would need to tell the world the entire story for you to understand. A few weeks ago my wife and I decided that public school has lost its calling for education. Students are nothing but a test score to them. We found Summit through a mutual friend that referred us to the school. On a Sunday afternoon I was able to speak with The Elementary Director. Not because she was working, but she had reached out to us on her day off. I asked her a few questions about the school and set up a tour. Tour day comes and we arrive
