Summit Charter School

Summit Charter School is a tuition-free K-12 public charter school in the Cashiers-Highlands plateau. Summit engages students in learning experiences that stimulate discovery, inspire excellence, and nurture a positive influence in an ever-changing world. A picturesque mountain campus and state-of-the-art facilities provide an ideal setting for teachers and students to embrace high expectations, build meaningful relationships, and practice Summit's Seven Virtues: “Each day in my words and my deeds, I will do my best to live these seven virtues: Honesty, Respect, Responsibility, Compassion, Self-Discipline, Perseverance, and Giving.”
Summit’s unique place-based approach to education fosters engaging, hands-on learning experiences in the classroom, across the community, and in the outdoors. Supported by talented and dedicated faculty, strong partnerships with parents, and small class sizes, Summit provides a nurturing community where students are able to take age-appropriate risks, learn from mistakes, and celebrate their growth and achievements.
