Personal Connection & Welcome

Personal Connection & Welcome from Our Founding Director

A Message to Families from Ana Mercedes Báez

Dear Families,

At Summit College Preparatory School, our personal connection & welcome are more than words they are the foundation of everything we do. With years of experience in gifted education and multilingual instruction, I’ve learned that exceptional students need more than curriculum they need understanding, structure, and inspiration. Summit is a place where gifted learners feel truly seen, supported, and challenged.

Our Philosophy of Gifted Education

Gifted students thrive in environments where their individuality is recognized. At Summit, we prioritize meaningful relationships and academic guidance. Our teachers take time to understand each child, ensuring a customized learning path. This is not only our method it’s our mission. Therefore, we place strong emphasis on academic challenge, social-emotional care, and global citizenship.

Language, Identity & Global Thinking

In addition to strong academics, we nurture global competence. Our multilingual programs are designed to promote fluency and critical thinking. Students don’t just learn a language they use it to analyze, connect, and communicate across cultures. As a result, they grow into confident global citizens with strong voices and compassionate hearts.

Why This Personal Connection & Welcome Matters

I have had the privilege of working with some of the most brilliant young minds. They remind me that gifted education is not about acceleration alone it’s about recognition, trust, and vision. When students feel truly seen, they flourish. This is why we offer not just programs, but a personal connection & welcome that begins from the first moment a student enters our community.

Thank you for choosing Summit. We are honored to walk this journey with your family. Your child’s growth, voice, and wellbeing matter deeply to us. I warmly welcome you to a school where education is personal, purposeful, and full of possibility.
