Tuition & Financial Information
Summit is a nonprofit academic institution. We offer structure, excellence, and purpose.
Main Concept
Summit High School is a full-time, academically selective, nonprofit online high school. Each student follows a complete academic pathway that integrates advanced coursework, Honors and AP-level preparation, STEM enrichment, and multilingual instruction in up to six world languages. Our students benefit from sustained academic mentorship, personalized guidance, and long-term preparation for admission to top global universities.
As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit institution, Summit reinvests 100% of tuition revenue into instruction, mentoring, and academic support. We are a mission-driven school focused on structure, excellence, and purpose—not scale or flexibility. Our tuition reflects the depth, design, and human guidance that define our model. There is no commercial agenda behind our work. Only education.

Access Fund for Underserved Gifted Students
Summit supports exceptionally gifted students from underserved backgrounds through a shared-cost model.
This includes partial tuition coverage, voluntary instructional hours from our teachers, and contributions from private sponsors and donors. The academic standards remain identical for all students, and placement is highly selective, based on a rigorous application review.
External Costs (Handled by Families)
Language Exams (e.g., DELE, DELF, Goethe, HSK): Paid directly to testing organizations.
Optional tutoring or services: Available upon request, billed separately if approved.
Why This Matters
Summit is built for depth, purpose, and long-term academic excellence. We operate as a mission-driven school focused on learning, growth, and global access rather than as a digital platform.
Our approach fosters rigorous scholarship, multilingual development, and meaningful personal transformation. If you seek an education shaped by quality, integrity, and global readiness, we welcome your application.
When You Are Ready
Summit is more than a school—it is a commitment. When a student joins Summit, their family joins a purpose-driven academic partnership built on trust, structure, and shared goals. Admission is selective, and every seat is reserved for students ready to grow with depth, discipline, and global vision.
If your student is ready to begin this journey, we welcome your application.
