Social responsibility is always cultivated at Summit School and summertime is no different. Our Make A Difference campers increased their awareness of the needs in our community and inspired each of them to make a difference through volunteering while having fun. #inspiring

What do all of our inspiring camps have in common? GREAT LEADERS! Our camp leaders enjoy and respect children, and they know that summer is a time for play and our camps are an excellent place for purposeful play and learning. #summitsummer #summitschoolws #joyinthejourney

Upper School Latin students played a game to help them read and understand a Latin story. The red cards each had a word and a sentence with a word missing. When put together in the right order, they could read the story. It was a fun, hands-on way to work with language.
