I want to share our excellent experience with Summit Christian Academy and now many years here. We began in 2016 when our first child was entering preschool just part-time and had the most welcoming wonderful experience. It was such a great experience that the next year we moved her into five days. The next year pre-K, kindergarten and then added child number two and eventually child number three. We have got to experience many different styles of teaching, grades, and also how it's different between girls and boys but one clear message is the same: that you are loved and that God loves you. The Education is excellent. It's also really fun to see organized sports, arts and extra curricular activities beginning within the school at the early ages too! We have loved it, and if you quickly do the math for three children, you can easily see that it is beyond worth it to us!!! read more

My four kids attended this school. The academics are superior and the cost is fair. We are Christians so this was a good fit. My family volunteered, took on odd jobs and were most grateful for this place in the four fab Fowler kids' upbringing. Once they went to public schools, the memorization, phonics based reading education and clear tried and true lessons in math history drama and science taught by passionate instructors was instrumental in their superb public school habits and grades. Love SCA which was 'Lees Summit Community Christian School' back then! read more

Love the school. Great teachers! Good student ratio. It is so encouraging to know that our Christian faith is being reinforced at school. Also, my daughter has started reading while in Pre-K there. They have many great programs to encourage reading. My first grader does not like getting picked up early from school because he likes his school and friends there so much. read more

Best school in the area. My kids are in elementary and high school. I'm happy with the education and the safe environment. SCA feels like family. Kids are learning how to be productive citizens who aspire to do great things. It is such a blessing to be able to have our kids attend this school. read more

We moved over from Less summit school systems. We had a terrible experience at North and our elementary age son could not get services for dyslexia at Mason even though he was diagnosed through Children's Mercy. We should have moved sooner. Our kids feedback: The teachers actually look you in the eyes and instead of being made fun of for not knowing something, their classmates cheered when they attempted it! We were able to get services for our son and he's now caught up with his class!!! The kids have great friends. So thankful for this school! read more

We've been at SCA for a decade and, while no school is perfect, we appreciate the smaller size and the caring teachers/coaches. There are less distractions to learning than what our kids had in public school and our kids have developed good friendships. We like being able to get to know the families of their friends in the smaller environment. read more

BUYER BEWARE!! That means be prepared to buy your child's way into favoritism with his/her peers, teachers, administration, etc. We wanted to send our kids here because we wanted them to have a faith based education which we thought would include teaching compassion, empathy, and love and respect for others. However, we were sadly mistaken. Our kids were bullied not only by their peers, but by some of coaches and administration as well. We have been appalled at the way a blind eye was extended to mean individuals just because they contribute financially above the cost of tuition. The kids are even more entitled at this school than they are in public schools (yes, we've attended public schools too). Many of the kids here have parents who believe their kids are perfect and will not hold them accountable for their actions towards others. We pulled our kids because we couldn't justify paying so much for all of the problems this school caused in the mental health of our kids. read more

Excellent and remarkable teachers for the day care, Pre K and summer camps for my younger sibling. Absolutely a relational investment to create a constructive environment for each student while maintaining a big standard of values. Only issue is with the board or whomever makes decisions about scholarships. My single income parent had to find another option when my brother was refused financial assistance prior to starting kindergarten. A confusing message from a Christian institution. read more

Our daughter attended school at SCA through sixth grade. When she started at this school, I noticed a strange and clique(ish) environment formulated by other parents who chose to be less than gracious and welcoming to "others"; there was no warmth or friendliness. There is definitely a wealth/class mentality there which eventually gets passed on to their own children as they grow up within the hallways of this small, tight-knit environment. I found this attitude surprising out of a Christian school. This behavior, from parents to children, was a huge reason we pulled our daughter and sent her public. She says she feels much more accepted in public school than she ever did at SCA which speaks volumes. Another reason we left SCA is from about 3rd grade on, our daughter started coming home crying about the constant doom and fear being pushed on them daily in morning Chapel. We spoke to administration regarding this and their stance was that children should learn to always fear the devil and evil--it's how they teach. They never questioned or seemed to care whether it was to the detriment of the child. By 6th grade, we'd had enough. The 6th graders had started "dating" each other and there were rumors of questionable activity. The kids had really separated out into cliques and we no longer felt it was the most appropriate environment to educate our child. We liked the school for the small contained elementary classrooms, and what we thought the best environment for our shy, quiet and kind little girl. She thrived there during her young years and we give all the credit to the wonderful teachers through the years, we can't say enough good things about them. They communicated with us and always made our child feel important in the classroom. read more

My wife and I started our two children in preschool and our youngest recently graduated from the high school. When the school was small we knew all the teachers and families well. Even though it's considerably larger now, little has changed, except we no longer know all the families. The teachers have always taken a personal interest in our kids and challenged them to excel at school and become balanced, motivated, and godly young adults. Our kids have now both graduated from the school and speak fondly of their time there. We were around in the early years when the school was founded on biblical principles including that of freedom in Christ, and it has remained unchanged all these years later. The school provides a solid Christian atmosphere that is not legalistic or overreaching. The school is run well, delivering a superior academic education where students are encouraged to develop personally and find who they are in Christ. read more
