Admissions - Summit College Preparatory School

Selective, human-centered admissions • Updated: August 2025

Summit welcomes gifted and multilingual students who thrive in small seminars, live instruction, and documented mastery. We are recruiting now for the 2026–2027 school year. The academic year begins in early August. We enroll a very small cohort to sustain depth and one-to-one mentoring. We start with a personal conversation, not a form.

Admissions Philosophy

We do not ask for perfection we ask for honesty, depth, and intention. Selective admissions at Summit looks for alignment: disciplined study, ethical conduct, and steady progress in three languages (academic English plus two additional world languages through high school).

Eligibility, Intake, and Cohort

Entry Grades
Grade 9 entry. Selective Grade 10 admission only if on-time graduation is feasible within our ILP plan.
Cohort Size
We enroll no more than 10 students per entering class to protect seminar quality, supervision, and feedback.
Schedule Model
Six-day learning week with live seminars, one-to-one mentoring, and verified independent work.
Early Admissions
Applying early helps align languages, ILP pacing, and seminar placement before August.

How to Apply

1) Begin with a Personal Meeting

Email admin@summithighschool.org to request a Zoom meeting. We discuss goals, languages, schedule, and fit. This respectful conversation is not a test.

2) Send Your Materials (after the meeting)

Transcripts
Last three years (certified translations if needed).
Parent Letter
One page on strengths, needs, and requested supports.
Student Essay
~500 words: “Why am I seeking a new school? What am I hoping to find?”
Video (optional)
2–3 minute informal introduction—personality, interests, languages.
ID
Passport or national ID for the student.
English Evidence
Required if prior schooling was not in English (diagnostic acceptable).
Optional
Portfolio, awards, recommendations, or standardized results (if available).

3) Review & Conversation

We evaluate alignment with Summit’s model (multilingual progress, work habits, ethics, ILP fit). If materials align, we schedule a short follow-up conversation with the student and family.

4) Decision & Next Steps

Decisions are usually issued within 7–10 business days after the family conversation. Accepted students receive an offer letter, an ILP draft, orientation details, and course registration guidance. Our school year begins in early August.

Applying early helps align languages, pacing, and seminar placement before August.

Transparency: Accreditation & College Board

Accreditation. Summit currently has no external accreditation. Florida requires a period of sustained operation before a school can open an accreditation file. After three full years we will evaluate eligibility and, if we proceed, publish milestones and dates. Meanwhile, we issue official transcripts and records through the Registrar & Records.

College Board. Summit is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or authorized by the College Board. We do not offer AP®, AP Capstone™, or other College Board programs. Any mention of external benchmarks serves only to describe skills families may pursue independently with third-party providers.
