FINANCIAL OVERVIEW
Summit is committed to prudent financial planning. As an independent school, Summit receives no financial support from federal, state, or local governments. The sole sources of revenue are tuition, charitable gifts, income from invested reserves, and proceeds from special activities and events. Like all independent schools, Summit must raise additional funds beyond tuition revenue to balance the budget and provide for the future. Even families who pay full tuition receive a subsidy of approximately $2,300 annually toward their child’s education. Your gift to The Summit Fund allows the school to continue to provide a first-rate education for students while keeping tuition increases under control.
We understand that within a school year you will have many opportunities to give. Your participation is essential to the success of our community.
