THE
SUMMIT FUND
IT STARTS
HERE
The Summit Fund is the primary way for alumni, parents, grandparents, past parents, and friends to support the annual priorities of our school. By giving, you help Summit take advantage of mission-driven, real-time innovations that keep a Summit education dynamic– both in and out of the classroom. Annual gifts to The Summit Fund are essential as they provide critical dollars to cover the school’s program costs each year. Like all independent schools, Summit must raise additional funds beyond tuition revenue. Even families who pay full tuition receive a subsidy of approximately $2,300 annually toward their child’s education. All gifts, whether large or small, are greatly appreciated. Your support fosters a sense of community among Summit families, and is a statement of gratitude that demonstrates your pride in our school.
